No quotes are included in what you report here as typed.
So, check out in turn
1. Any unmatched quotes in the variable label of -status-.
2. Any unmatched quotes in the value labels of -status- (if any).
3. Any unmatched quotes in the values of -status- (if it is a string
variable).
4. Repeat 1 for your other variables.
My guess is #1.
Then remove the unmatched quote _or_ insert a matching quote and reissue
the -graph- command.

I tried it without the space (I mistakenly put it back there when I
copied the code for the list) but I get the same error. Any other
ideas?
