I came across a few minor problems with your input file. Please note that lines should generally start with a space. This includes group names and "$END" declarations. (Exceptions exist though, such as the content of many formatted groups such as $DATA, $VEC.) Lines 77-82 of your input currently read:

 BR         35.0  -3.4407108487  -0.6745777410  -1.8315819046
 BR         35.0   1.1199778190   0.2535390554   1.9090023780
$END
$VEC
 1  1-9.17270308E-06-8.16998567E-05 3.91538767E-05 4.62247692E-05 4.50814035E-06
 1  2 2.10652805E-04-4.99658899E-04 5.01040213E-04-1.68158771E-04 3.05122918E-06

However, as explained above, lines 79 and 80 should start with a space:

 BR         35.0  -3.4407108487  -0.6745777410  -1.8315819046
 BR         35.0   1.1199778190   0.2535390554   1.9090023780
 $END
 $VEC
 1  1-9.17270308E-06-8.16998567E-05 3.91538767E-05 4.62247692E-05 4.50814035E-06
 1  2 2.10652805E-04-4.99658899E-04 5.01040213E-04-1.68158771E-04 3.05122918E-06

The same goes for the "$END" declaration at the end of your $VIB group.

One additional tip: you've specified "$CPHF MXCPIT=200". Note that this has no function for a numerical Hessian calculation, only for an analytical one.

I've attached the corrected input. (Edit: please see my next message for the attachment)


Kind regards,
Thom

Then I copied $VEC group from punch file and all of $VIB groups from old IRCDATA file. Also I used guess=moread option. When I run the input file again, an error message appears at the end of output file which means that there are not data of all atoms in $VIB group. There are data of 52 atoms in old IRCDATA file. Now at the end of out file this message appears:
