[Wien] Continue from my previous mail on Ghostband error

Does the problem happen in the first scf cycle or later on ???

If it is later, make sure :NEC01 is ok in the scf fle.

Check case.scf1 to see where the actual E-parameters for atom 5 l=2 are.
If the E-parameters for APW and for the LO are too close ---> ghostbands


Are you sure you need the Sn-s semicore states ??
