Hello

Just a strange observation. The Zab_VDW correlation parameter does not show in the OUTCAR for some reason, it only shows ******. Is this due to a mistake in the INCAR or something else? The calculation seems to run fine.

INCAR: ZAB_VDW = -1.8867

I am wondering if it is due to the minus sign, or whether I am using the wrong "-" sign?
Just want to make sure I have not done any error in my calculations.

Kind regards,
Øystein

Hi,

This is due to the format for the write statement that was not adapted. You can fix this in fock.F (at line 685 in VASP.6.4.2) by replacing

Code: Select all

           '   Zab_VDW    =',F6.4,  '    correlation parameter'/&

by

Code: Select all

           '   Zab_VDW    =',F7.4,  '    correlation parameter'/&

This fix will be included in the next VASP release. Thanks for pointing this out.
