You are missing the actual chart code.  Go back to that link and get the BEGIN GPL...END GPL. lines and add them to your syntax.

Dear all,

my aim is to produce a forest plot with the study names (string variables)
situated along the y-axis
and horizontal error bars. The x-axis will refer to the size of the
correlation coefficients of the different studies.

It seems that the syntax pasted below which had been posted previously here
does not work for newer versions of SPSS... Specifically, an error message
pops up telling me that an "inline graph specification had been here
expected" but hadn't been found. Can anybody help me modyfying the syntax?
Many thanks in advance!

Best
Nina

A) Assuming you have SPSS 14:

SORT CASES BY trial(D).
STRING YearAndStudy(A30).
COMPUTE YearAndStudy=CONCAT(RTRIM(year)," ",study).
COMPUTE RefLine=1.

GGRAPH

  MISSING=LISTWISE REPORTMISSING=NO
