st: metan 'invalid syntax' r(197)

Dear all,
When I attempt the examples from -help meta- I get 'invalid syntax' error messages:
. help metan
. metan_examples metan_example_basic
(Example dataset for meta-analyses, Ross Harris 2006)
. metan tdeath tnodeath cdeath cnodeath, rd random
> label(namevar=id, yearid=year) counts
invalid syntax
r(197);
. metan_examples metan_example_cols
(Example dataset for meta-analyses, Ross Harris 2006)
. metan tdeath tnodeath cdeath cnodeath,
> sortby(year) lcols(id year country) rcols(population)
> textsize(110) astext(60) double nostats nowt nohet notable
invalid syntax
r(197);
The same for all other examples and also when I try metan with my data. I work on:
Stata/MP 12.1 for Mac (64-bit Intel)

Oddly enough, when I try the same exercise with a PC it works fine. Did anyone else encounter the same issue?
