Thanks, it's working now! case.scfm and other files do look like spin-polarized.

But is it normal that there is a small jump in energy:

:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -386334.44392673
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -386334.44396356
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -386334.44396524
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -386334.44847247

and also the :DIS value suddenly becomes quite larger?

:DIS : CHARGE DISTANCE ( 0.0075857 for atom 12 spin 1) 0.0006768 :DIS : CHARGE DISTANCE ( 0.1267154 for atom 12 spin 1) 0.0420162

is there a way to use files from a converged non-magnetic calculation in a new spin-polarized calculation (but with no spin-polarization, of course)?

I tried the following:

1) run_lapw
2) cp case.vector case.vectorup(dn)
    cp case.energy case.energyup(dn)
    cp case.vsp case.vspup(dn)
    cp case.vns case.vnsup(dn)
3) x lapw2 -up
    x lapw2 -dn
4) x lcore

You need:  x lcore -up / -dn
and   rm case.clmsum_old

5) x mixer with
   PRATT  0.0   YES  (BROYD/PRATT, BG charge (-1 for core hole), norm)
    1.00            mixing FACTOR for BROYD/PRATT scheme

check case.scfm. Does it look like a spin-polarized scf file (up and
dn charges, ....)
check case.clmup/dn/sum  are they identical /twice as large ???

And case.clmsum should basically be the same as the save clmsum file
from run_lapw.

6) clean
7) runsp_lapw

lapw0 finished successfully, but lapw1 gave a
  'SELECT' - no energy limits found for atom   6  L= 0
  'SELECT' - E-bottom    2.76451   E-top -200.00000
error.

Would you have any advice?

Thank you,
