Issue with renaming METAL output

Question

[anamaria]

Hi,

I am trying to run my metal script like this:

metal < metal_script

metal_script looks like this:

# Describe and process the input files
MARKER   rsid
ALLELE   alleleA alleleB
EFFECT   frequentist_add_beta_1
STDERR   frequentist_add_se_1
PVAL     frequentist_add_pvalue

PROCESS chr16_edic.txt
PROCESS chr16_gokind.txt

OUTFILE meta_chr16.txt
ANALYZE

the issue is that I'm not getting in output the meta_chr16.txt file, as I named in in the script, but rather this generic names: METAANALYSIS1.TBL

Does anyone know why is this?

Thanks Ana

it seems that it has to be specified as this:

OUTFILE META_CHR16_  .txt
