Hi I am a new user at Mplus. My actual sample size is 358 observations however while running my .dat file in Mplus, I get 357 observations.

Then I tried to convert my spss file to csv to check whether data has been transferred correctly. In this case, I get the following error message. Please tell me what should I do?

You must have a blank in the data set. This is not allowed with free format data. SPSS sometimes uses blank as missing. Look at record 359 field 2. If you can't figure it out, send the output, data set, and your license number to support@statmodel.com.
