Dear All,
I am getting following error in occupation factor calculation using epsilon.x of QE-6.4.1 for metals. In post-processing user guide it is recommended that to calculate occupation factor first for metallic systems. The error message and input files are,

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     Error in routine epsilon (1):
     invalid CALCULATION = occ
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

 My input files are,
