Hi,

As indicated in Sec. 4.5.9 of the user's guide, the purpose of the
LDA or GGA calculation before mBJ is just to create case.r2v and case.vresp
which are necessary for mBJ. It does not matter how converged (in terms
of scf iterations) is this LDA/GGA calculation and which LDA or GGA was
used.

The indices of the functionals are in this file:
$WIENROOT/SRC_lapw0/vxclm2.f
