I am new in running multilevel modeling and running a "Simple Multilevel Models. Level 2 Predictors" using Mplus but the result shows....

"*** ERROR

One or more between-level variables have variation within a cluster for

one or more clusters. Check your data and format statement.

Between Cluster ID with variation in this variable

Variable (only one cluster ID will be listed)

BLM 26

EDB 26

"

and my syntax was

TITLE: Simple Multilevel Models. Level 2 Predictors

DATA: FILE IS hpe level1.v4.dat;

VARIABLE: NAMES ARE group ctype sex age

pp abs hpe blm edb ;

USEVARIABLES ARE group abs blm edb;

MISSING ARE .;

BETWEEN ARE blm edb;

CLUSTER = group;

ANALYSIS: TYPE = TWOLEVEL RANDOM;

MODEL: %BETWEEN%

abs ON blm;

abs ON edb

Can anyone help me please how to check the between level cluster variation using spss? and what is the value range to understand the discrepancies...

***I have checked and read repeatedly the Mplus discussion but couldn't understand them..
