Research direction

Start with the linked “Transfer FILTER values into an INFO tag” annotate howto and the shown bcftools annotate command. Determine whether a single command can construct INFO/raw_pos from CHROM, POS, REF, and ALT without an annotation file; done means the requested command works on the stated VCF input without intermediate files.

Description

i know the
Transfer FILTER values into an INFO tag

bcftools annotate -c INFO/NewTag:=FILTER B.bcf

but i want

bcftools annotate -c INFO/raw_pos:=%CHROM-%POS-%REF-%ALT  clinvar_20240902.vcf.gz 
# it not work

Is there a simple way to do this? I don't want to use tabix to obtain annotate.gz, because the original VCF is too large, and I always don't want to generate too many intermediate files
