Dear Stefaan Cottenier,
                           According to your suggestion after making
supercell I replaced one  of the inequivalent positions atom 'Co' by
'Co1',then it is showing an error

                         forrtl: severe (64): input conversion error, unit
20, file /home/tanusri5/santu/11_april/Try/Trial/SAVE/CoF2/CoF2.struct

And also it is showing the error

error: command   /home/tanusri5/WIEN/nn nn.def   failed
atom  Z   RMT-max   RMT
Use of uninitialized value in sprintf at /home/tanusri5/WIEN/setrmt_lapw
line 115, <STRUC> line 8.

I have two inequivalent Co atoms. Then I make other ineqivalent Co as 'Co2'
but it is still shwoing the same error. So Could you please tell me if I
have done wrong and suggest someting.
Thanks.
