By HKL, I assume you mean an XDS output file. In that case, xdsconv from
the XDS package works. Pick one of the CCP4 formats (like CCP4_I+F).
Then, xdsconv essentially tells you to run f2mtz and cad (I think) with
certain options. It does employ a French-Wilson scheme for converting
negative intensities, if you like that.
I had been encountering (for a long time) one issue, though. The
OUTPUT_FILE parameter seems to not take effect (at least in the CCP4_I+F
format) and defaults to something like output_file.mtz within the
commands xdsconv instructs you to type. Manually change it.

Hi,
I want to convert HKL file to mtz. I tried using F2mtz but somehow
the output mtz is not working. What parameters should I set during
conversion. Or can anyone suggest alternative to F2mtz?

Hi, Ameya,
F2mtz works.
In order for someone to help you you need to give more information.
What does your HKL file look like (show us the first 10-20 lines)?
Are you running f2mtz from one of the GUIs, or from a a script or
commandline?
What parameters did you give (or what was your script)? (often the
FORMAT statement is the problem).
And in what way the output mtz file is not working? maybe use mtzdump
to show what you got.
Hope that will lead to a speedy resolution!
