-bargap()- indeed nothing in your case. You have only one y variable --
in your case JS -- so there are no gaps for it to tune.
You should look at -gap()- as a suboption of -over()-.
In your case,
... over(countries, gap(<whatever>))
This is all laid out in the help for -graph bar-.

Thanks, that works.
But, the gaps between the countries are very small, so I tried to
enlarge them by -bargap()-.
Unfortunetly it seems that this option doesn't change anything.
I used the command: graph hbar (mean) JS, bargap(100) over(countries)
ytitle("Job satisfaction") title("job satisfaction by countries")
