Hello, I was able to get my CFA syntax to run on a windows computer, but now the data file won't read in on a Mac (I get this error: *** ERROR in DATA command The file specified for the FILE option cannot be found. Check that this file exists: Macintosh HD:/Users/elizabethkarberg/Desktop/Mplus/CFA.csv). I am using this syntax: Data: FILE IS "Macintosh HD:/Users/elizabethkarberg/Desktop/Mplus/CFA.csv"; Is there any information about how to troubleshoot this? I used the same procedure on the windows computer and it worked fine. I do not have access to the windows computer anymore, so I need to get this to work on a Mac. Thanks! |

You need to remove the “Machintosh HD:” from the FILE specification. |

I am also getting the same error. I do not have the Macintosh HD either. I cant seem to find any way to make it work. Even if I use .dat or .csv, the error is the same. DATA: FILE IS “/Users/Triparna/Desktop/MPlus/mplus_data.csv"; OR DATA: FILE IS “/Users/Triparna/Desktop/MPlus/mplus_data.dat"; *** ERROR in DATA command The file specified for the FILE option cannot be found. Check that this file exists: “/Users/Triparna/Desktop/MPlus/mplus_data.csv" |

Search for the data set name as you have typed it in the input file to see if it can be found. |

Thank you so much for responding! Yes, there is a .dat file. In fact, I put them all into the MPlus Analyses folder in the Home folder of my mac. I also have the .csv file in there. I even tried running the program from the terminal. I am not sure why it wont work! |

Dear Mrs. Muthen, In a dat file, do you use a period or comma for figures with decimal places? Thanks |
|
|
Period. |
