[Wien] the error of "semicore band ranges too large" and NMR calculations

Dear all,
"LAPW2: semicore band-ranges too large, possible ghost band" occurred at the 15th SCF for the mineral  ulexite (NaCa[B5O7(OH)4]H2O), so my question is: does such an error will affect the NMR calculations for this mineral?
Best wishes,
Bing

 This check was introduced recently to
 detect ghost bands.
 If this problem appears at the very beginning of the SCF
 iteration
 for a new geometry then there is probably no problem of
 ghost bands.
 This is just the starting density which is not good.
 
 To avoid the stop of the calculation, in case.in2 set the
 value of
 iqtlsave to 0.
