[molpro-user] element 118 and Molpro

Dear Molpro users,

we were not able to calculate element 118 as it is not defined
in the Molpro definitions, so we tried (advise from the list) 
to calculate element 118 by cheating Molpro and calculating other atom,
here Th, with ECP and basis set of element 118, 
setting the core charge to be 50.
(We have 40-VE ECP for 118, thus 118-40=78 for core; Th has Z=90, 118-90=28;
resulting fake core is 78-28=50).
The Molpro stops BEFORE the integral section, 
in the seward stage with the message below this text.
Specifying the wavefunction in the HF section has no influence (and I
guess it should not) on this error. 
To assure that no error was done in input, 
I re-did the calculation just changing 
the core definition of ECP to 78 or 60 which are normally used for Th
and it worked without any problems (though giving totally meaningless
energy)

Questions, 
a) Is there other place where one
has to specify desired parameters or is our cheating 
not correct(exactly the same trick seemed to work in Gaussian 98
test)? 
b) Is there other way to calculate 118 with Molpro, possibly with ECP
approach? I am new to Molpro and could not find another way in manual
(as e.g. the Massage keyword in Gaussian)

With Regards,

Michal Straka
