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?
