I am attempting to run a model with clustered data (children within a family) using the cluster option and type = complex. When I run the model with the cluster option and the type=complex I get an error saying I have zero observations. When I remove the cluster option and type=complex then it works just fine.

What am I doing wrong?

Here is the error:
*** ERROR
The number of observations is 0. Check your data and format statement.
Data file: R:\AlexJensenresearch\catsemstack.dat
*** ERROR
Invalid symbol in data file:
"" at record #: 1, field #: 1

Open the data file in the Mplus Editor. You will see the invalid character at the beginning. Delete that character and resave the data.
