Re^4: *** ERROR, ILLEGAL BASIS FUNCTION TYPE=B IGAUSS= 5

Dear Siddheshwar,

If the same problem reappeared, then you must have made the same error as before. Please a good look out the $DATA group as displayed in your output file and double check all input. Note that AFAIK multiple blank lines are not allowed.

Kind regards,
Thom

>>Dear Thomas,
>>Thank you so much for your kind help. The problem is resolved now. I need one clarification too:
>>In the $DATA list, if I add Ti-lanl2dz.ecp, I get error. However, the @Ti-lanl2dz.ecp is added in $ECP. The problem gets solved if I add Ti-lanl2dz.bas in $DATA.. Could you explain this? I want to use ONLY the ECPs for Ti.

>>>As can be seen, there is no blank line between the end of the definition for Ti and the start of the definition of the next atom (B). It could be that this terminating blank line is missing for your other atoms as well.

>>>As such, you will either have to add blank lines for the atoms in your $DATA group or add them to the basis files read in by the preprocessor.
