Dear Ghosh and wien users,
    If you leave Z blank in the structure file, then also it will be taken
automatically once you save the structure file. The matter may be something
else I suppose. I have tried this also as you mentioned but of no use.
Anyway, one of the wien friend  from Russia had asked for the structure
file. I am attaching herewith its structure file. Could you please check.
Please have a trial.
Thanks and best regards
Ghimire
