This appeared recently (within the last 3 weeks??) in the SPSS discussion list. I believe Raynald Levesque came up with a simple way to do it. It involves very few SPSS syntax lines.
I don't recall if the answer included the vertical zero reference line. That should be easy to add one you have the plot. The archives for spssx-l seem to be down right now, but but check out the invaluable resource at http://pages.infinit.net/rlevesqu/ If you don't find the answer there, follow the links to the SPSS discussion list which are on the first page. Hope this helps.
