[Wien] A question about the DOS of semi core state

[Hu, Wenhao]

Dear WIEN2K users:

I have a questions about the DOS schema in WIEN2K. In my calculation, I have a Nickel atom in my supercell, which is a transition metal. From what I see in case.scf file for the Nickel atom part:

:CHA004: TOTAL VALENCE CHARGE INSIDE SPHERE   4 =   6.9038    (RMT=  1.9900 )
:PCS004: PARTIAL CHARGES SPHERE =  4 S,P,D,F,      D-EG,D-T2G
:QTL004: 0.1864 3.0918 3.6103 0.0120 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 1.7839 1.8262 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000
        Q-s-low E-s-low   Q-p-low E-p-low   Q-d-low E-d-low   Q-f-low E-f-low
:EPL004:  0.0000 10.0000    2.9861 -3.9735    0.0000 10.0000    0.0000 10.0000
        Q-s-hi  E-s-hi    Q-p-hi  E-p-hi    Q-d-hi  E-d-hi    Q-f-hi  E-f-hi
:EPH004:  0.1864  0.2988    0.1057  0.1985    3.6102  0.5179    0.0120  0.2378
(This is spin-up part)

 I believe that there should be semi core states in the window of -3.9735 Ry. But after I calculated the DOS, I found that there aren't any states from my core-state cut-off energy to -0.8 Ry. So I wonder will the semi core state will be counted in the regular DOS calculation. Or this is just my misunderstanding on the output file. If no, how can I get the dos of the semi core electrons?

Thanks for any suggestions and comments in advance. If any further information about my calculation you think is needed for locating the error, please lemme know.
