Dear all,

I have a question regarding the number of reflections in the output file of 
XDSCONV, given a number of reflections in the input file.

I have noticed that the number of reflections in the output file is only ~50% 
of the once accepted from the input file (ie the unique reflections)(input file 
is XSCALE.HKL or CORRECT_ASCII.HKL). This is in the case of FRIEDEL'S_LAW=FALSE:
SPACE_GROUP_NUMBER=   91
 UNIT_CELL_CONSTANTS=    93.57    93.57   364.05  90.000  90.000  90.000
 FRIEDEL'S_LAW=FALSE
 MERGE=TRUE 
 NUMBER OF REFLECTION RECORDS ON INPUT FILE      740375
 NUMBER OF IGNORED REFLECTIONS (I< -3.0*SIGMA)        0
 NUMBER OF REFLECTIONS ACCEPTED FROM INPUT FILE  106783

 NUMBER OF UNIQUE REFLECTIONS ASSIGNED TO TEST SET     2864
 NUMBER OF UNIQUE TEST REFLECTIONS INHERITED              0
 NUMBER OF UNIQUE TEST REFLECTIONS NEWLY GENERATED     2864

 NUMBER OF REFLECTION RECORDS ON OUTPUT FILE      57265
 NUMBER OF RECORDS ASSIGNED TO WORKING SET        54401
 NUMBER OF RECORDS ASSIGNED TO TEST SET            2864

In case FRIEDEL'S_LAW=TRUE, the number of unique reflections is just lower, and 
in the case the number of reflections in the output file does match the number 
of accepted reflections from the input file:
SPACE_GROUP_NUMBER=   91
 UNIT_CELL_CONSTANTS=    93.57    93.57   364.05  90.000  90.000  90.000
 FRIEDEL'S_LAW=TRUE 
 MERGE=TRUE 
 NUMBER OF REFLECTION RECORDS ON INPUT FILE      740115
 NUMBER OF IGNORED REFLECTIONS (I< -3.0*SIGMA)        0
 NUMBER OF REFLECTIONS ACCEPTED FROM INPUT FILE   57244

 NUMBER OF UNIQUE REFLECTIONS ASSIGNED TO TEST SET     2863
 NUMBER OF UNIQUE TEST REFLECTIONS INHERITED              0
 NUMBER OF UNIQUE TEST REFLECTIONS NEWLY GENERATED     2863

 NUMBER OF REFLECTION RECORDS ON OUTPUT FILE      57244
 NUMBER OF RECORDS ASSIGNED TO WORKING SET        54381
 NUMBER OF RECORDS ASSIGNED TO TEST SET            2863

For some reason, the outcome of having Friedel's law false or true is thus the 
same. Can anyone explain this to me? 
A colleague and I checked whether she sees the same using Pointless&Scala to 
get mtz file, and this has the same effect.

Kind regards,

Inge
