Re: Error reading ginv.giv

Dear Agus,

Dear all,
When I run the following model using -ls6 option, and I had an error
message like below:

lsw ~ mu grup parity !r animal perment giv(animal,1)

PEDIGREE [pedasr.dat ] has 8561 identities, 28206 Non zero elements
  Reading ginv.giv skipping 0 header lines
 After****** lines: something wrong reading ginv.giv
... (cut) ...
Finished: 19 Oct 2006 18:01:18.270 Error reading ginv.giv

I wonder what might be the reason. Is there any limit for the pedigree
size that ASREML can solve regarding the special G matrix?
Many thanks for all attention and response.
Have a great weekend.

1)  There is no particular limit other than memory requirement.
2)  The next line should have reported how far through the file you had
progressed.
3)  It could be a file formatting error, maybe fields had merged, or were
out of order,
   or something was missing.
4)  However, a matrix of order 8561, is quite large when dense stored :
294 Mbyte  and S6
is just 512 Mbyte  so workspace is the likely issue.  Try using  -LS7
Grace, mercy and peace to you from God our Saviour Jesus Christ
