Update-name "Problem Parsing the Command Line Arguments"

[Kimberly Diaz]

Hello, 

I am currently using Plink v1.07 trying to use --update-name to update rsIDs based on chromosome and base pair position using this command:

p-link --bfile excludedsnps12binary --update-name chr17 --make-bed --out chrom17update

OR

p-link --bfile excludedsnps12binary --update-name chr17 --out chrom17update

It is saying that --update-name is an unused command line option as if it had a syntax error. Would the version of Plink be responsible for this error of "Problem parsing the command line arguments"?

Thanks

Plink 1.07 requires --update-name to be used with --update-map.  (Plink 1.9 does not have this restriction.)
