Hello,

I was running GWAS via:

plink2 --threads 24 --pfile temporary17 --recover-var-ids NVCFchr17.vcf.gz 'force' --pheno  pheno_hes_nephropathy_hba1c.txt --pheno-name pheno --covar pheno_hes_nephropathy_hba1c.txt --covar-name sex,age,PC1,PC2,PC3,PC4,PC5,PC6,PC7,PC8,PC9,PC10,TD,array,HBA1C --glm genotypic cols=+beta,+err hide-covar --out nephropathy_chr17

I got this error:

My pheno file looks like this:

In addition I am able to run with a different pheno file (pheno_question_hba1c_all.txt) I am able to run without issues... but when I use pheno_hes_nephropathy_hba1c.txt I got that error
