For small C spheres, the setting of an LO for C-2s may lead to problems, in particular when one is not yet self-consistent.

If you set iqtlsave to zero for some time, it is fine, but at the end of the scf you should switch it back and check if the error is still present. Also check for qtl-b warnings.

If the error comes back, it needs a deeper investigation, but probably you can remove this error by

i) choosing larger C-RMT (the present structure would allow larger spheres)

ii) removing the C-2s LO (second line for l=0 for all C atoms).

I may solve the problem by setting the iqtlsave parameter to zero in case.in2. But upto 8th structure I have obtained converged SCF  by setting the iqtlsave to one. Is it proper to set it zero from the 9th structure onwards?

    Dear Wien2k users,

                             I have tried to optimized a structure
    with option 7 in x optimize. It ran up to 8th structure well.
    However during running 9th structure it stops with an error; .
    " Semicore band ranges too large".

    I have attached the structure.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    with regards,
