Dear Prof. Blaha,
 thank you very much for you reply. I solved the 
problem of partial occupancy using the virtual crystal 
approximation and now it seems working.
Best regards.

 partial occupancies:
Fact is, that one position in space can only be occupied 
by ONE atom.
 How you model your disorder/partial occupancy depends on 
you.
 Most convenient is supercell, but you can generate 
atomic positions also
 yourself and put them into an xyz file.
 However, note: a cluster of atoms  We use periodic 
boundary conditions

 Dear Wien2k users,
 What kind of input files can I use instead of a
 file.cif in order to create the file.struct?
 I've also another question about cases of different
 occupancies of the same crystallographic site by 
different
 kind of atoms. I read in the mailing list that one way 
to
 overcome this problem is to create supercell, are there
 other solutions? for example is it possible to build up 
a
 cluster of atoms and give it as input file.xyz?
 Thank you very much in advance.
 Best regards
