You can't any anything between the GGRAPH command and the BEGIN GPL line.  Delete the comment and blank lines, and you should be fine.

I tried to run the syntax below using version 18 to generate Forest Plot.  Unfortunately, it does not work.  A warning appeared on the screen as follows:
 

Warnings

An inline graph specification was expected but not found.

Execution of this command stops.

 
I appreciate any help.
