Sir,

    I have checked case.dmatup and case.dmatdn.....case.dmatup is written
while case.dmatdn empty....*& also case.dmatdn_old is also empty as the
problem occured at the first iteration when we restarted the calculation
after a crash.....however the calculation was restarted as that crash occur
at the last step of previous scf cycle.....*

eventually...I have run x lapdwm -dn -c...although it takes a minute to
complete....still we find that case.dmatdn file is empty!!...

Looking forward to your precious suggestions...

with regards,
