Description

Hi,
I have added "familynames: NO" to the par file and ran smartpca -p file.par but continue to get the ID too long error. The output for smartpca is below. Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with smartpca and the supplied casescontrols20180516_prune.pca.par, .ped, and .map files. Trace how smartpca reads individual IDs and enforces the length limit; the issue is complete when the cause is identified and the error is fixed or the required input constraint is documented.
