You cannot put GPL code into a do repeat since only transformations go there
and GPL is part of the GGRAPH procedure.
You can put GPL code into a macro. The big problem is that macros change
quotation marks to apostrophes and GPL requires quotation marks. You can get
around it but it really makes for big messy macros. I've addressed this
problem a couple of times --search the archive.
Your best solution is a little python program.

Subject: Automating GPL code
Hi,
I have to generate the same type of graph for various data using SPSS
syntax. My first thought is to create a macro that holds the necessary GPL
code and call this macro with the appropriate arguments. However, according
to the SPSS manual it is not possible to put GPL code in a DEFINE block.
Given this limitation I thought of two alternatives:
1. put the GPL code in a DO REPEAT block.
2. copy-paste the GPL code for each variable.
I wondered if someone knows a more elegant solution since both alternatives
look very unfriendly and/or cumbersome?
Thanks in advance for your answer,
Anton Bossenbroek
