I have a trouble on data entering.

I have saved the spss dataset as ".dat", and use mplus to input the variables as below:

title: MLM egonn

data: file is "C:\Users\Stella\Desktop\egonn.dat";

variable:

names are ID RELATION DATE A1 A2 A3 A4 A5
A6 A7 A8 A91 A92 A101
A102 A103 A104 A110
A111 A12 A131 A132;

Missing are .;

usev = relation a1 a3 a4 a5 a6;

analysis:

type= basic;

but the output always indicate as below:
*** ERROR
The number of observations is 0. Check your data and format statement.
Data file: C:\Users\Stella\Desktop\egonn.dat
*** ERROR
Invalid symbol in data file:
"RELATION" at record #: 1, field #: 2

would you mind remind me why the data cannot read in? thanks

You should remove the variable names from the first record of the data set.
