For background information on structural equation modeling with PROC CALIS and comparisons of PROC CALIS with other SAS/STAT procedures, see "Introduction to Structural Equation Modeling with Latent Variables" in the "Introductions" section of the SAS/STAT® User's Guide. It is recommended that you read this chapter before running PROC CALIS for the first time.

This is a good beginning book for structural equation modeling.
Bollen, K. A. (1989), Structural Equations with Latent Variables, New York: John Wiley & Sons.
This book gives a very complete and in-depth presentation of structural equation models.
