As a work around you might create a new variable x is original
variable
lagx = x(1)
and then plot lagx against x.
There's a simpler way. Create the lag using /Add/lags of selected
variables. In the main window you'll now see a "twisty" next to
the original variable, indicating that there's more to see. Click
the twisty and the lags will be exposed. Select the original
variable and its lag using Shift- or Ctrl-click. Right-click for
the popup menu and select X-Y scatterplot.
