[Wien] *warning* ENE:

Hello WIEN users,
I just finished running SCF for 49 atom supercell. I recieved "
*warning* " in the total energy (ENE:) in the case.scf file. From past
experience this has shown up when the calculation is not fully
converged. But when doing the Util > Analysis it shows the ENE: has
converged to 3.5 E -5 which is well within my criteria.
Anyhow, why else would this " *warning* " message occur for the final
ENE: calculated?
If it looks well converged can i still use this data already calculated?
------
In fact, i have used this data through "MINI" relaxation and the forces
(FOR:) have converged nicely, down to 1 mRy/a.u. Therefore, i assume
this initial calculated total energy is valid because without an
excellent convergence of the energy (ENE:) these forces would not
converge this nicely.
Is this line of thinking correct?
------
This will be very important in regards to a vacancy calculation!
I do plan on running this same calculation again? So any tips may help.
Thanks a bunch
