[Wien] How to set the occupation number in Wien2k?

You showed the :qtl line for spin-dn, with a 4f occupation of 0.1000.
There is another line above, which gives spin-up.

Could it be that you get a non-magnetic solution without field ?

Is the dmat from a plain GGA or a GGA+U calculation ?

The application of a magnetic field for 4f systems can be quite delicate.
The field should act properly on the spin, which basically shifts 
spin-up/dn potentials apart. There is, however, also an orbital 
interaction, which can be included in orb only VERY approximately 
(onsite central field only, Gauge dependent, ...) and I have no idea how 
good such an approximation is.
I usually use the magnetic field only together with l=0, thus 
effectively no orbital interaction, but only the spin-up/dn shifts.
