[Wien] ERROR: negative position

Thanks!

eventually, converting the structure to .cif file using Vesta and then
back with cif2struct plus running sgroup fixed the problem.

Was the error message due to the old way of listing structural data
being incompatible with wien2k expectations?

What does it mean: "negative position in rstruc"?

Bests,
Kateryna
