Dear Wu,
    I have read case.scf file carefully and compared some examples. I found CHA*** could tell us charges which belongs to MT sphere**, and use electrons of semicore&valence states to substract CHA***, we can gain charges which belongs to interstitial regime. 

I read the example in Wien that TiO2.scf:
......
:CHA001: TOTAL CHARGE INSIDE SPHERE   1 =     9.410515 
:PCS001: PARTIAL CHARGES SPHERE =  1 S,P,D,F
:QTL001: 2.0814 5.9725 1.2991 0.0464
....
...
:CHA002: TOTAL CHARGE INSIDE SPHERE   2 =     5.216109
:PCS002: PARTIAL CHARGES SPHERE =  2 S,P,D,F
:QTL002: 1.5925 3.6100 0.0103 0.0026
...
...
:CHA  : TOTAL CHARGE INSIDE UNIT CELL =      48.000000
...
...
 CHARGES OF MIXED CHARGE DENSITY                                         
:CTO  : TOTAL   INTERSTITIAL CHARGE=  8.3145331                                
:CTO001: TOTAL   CHARGE IN SPHERE  1 = 19.4105152                              
:CTO002: TOTAL   CHARGE IN SPHERE  2 =  7.2161092
....
....
So, we can find that Ti 3d electrons belong to MT sphere are 1.2991.  But due to insulator of TiO2, I think Ti4+ should have very little 3d charges.I don't know what's the reason. According to my opinion, QTL*** couldn't tell us true occupation of shells of different materials.  

Sincerely,
