Hi,

I don't know which system it is, but definitely the case.in1 file cannot work.
Also a couple of other statements are definitely wrong, see below.

I am interested in the constraint excited states calculation a few eV about the Fermi level, so I have to add a few local orbitals at those higher energies (see my case.in1 below). I also use LAPW basis instead of APW (which is not flexible for delocalized states). But since wien2k is restricted to one local basis for each atom, I can not increase anymore.

Why do you think that APW is not flexible for delocalized states ????
I don't think this is true.

If you just want states "a few eV" above EF, probably nothing is necessary, but eventually you could add a HDLO.

Why do you think WIEN2k is restricted to one local basis function/atom ??? Since a couple of years one can add multiple LOs (see eg. the NMR code), but they have to be sufficiently separated in energy .

As a result, WIEN2k gave me
FERMI - Error. The program stops at LAPW2, with uplapw2.error as
Error in LAPW2
  'FERMI' - EFERMI OUT OF ENERGY RANGE
  'FERMI' - STOP IN EFI

**  testerror: Error in Parallel LAPW2

This definitely comes because of a wrong in1 file.

The following is my case.in1

WFFIL  EF=.599146891400   (WFFIL, WFPRI, ENFIL, SUPWF)

You cannot put a d-LO so close to the normal APW d-energy parameter, but if you think that the linearization of the d-states may be insufficient, you can add a HDLO.
