I installed the plssem package hoping to run a partial least square SEM.
I've read the authors instructions and did some runs using their own data ang commands in their books.
But when it is time to run an analysis using my own data, the invalid syntax error comes up.
I used -set trace on- an I hop someone who knows ho to read the results can help me address the issues.

Code:
