CNS ERROR: "Error: required observed amplitude array "fobs" does not exist"

[pradeeppallan]

Hi,

I am trying to run 'translation.inp', part of molecular replacement
for a DNA using
CNS version 1.1 on a SGI machine. cross_rotation.inp job runs and
gives the output.
However, translation.inp gives the error message (please scroll down):

I tried running the steps (cross_rotation and translation) with a
known data set, and it gives
the same error. [The molecular replacement solution was obtained
originally in CNS (version 1.0),
that have been refined to 1.1A].

The header of the hkl file reads:
NREFlections= 18313
ANOMalous= FALSe
DECLare NAME=IOBS  DOMAin=RECIprocal TYPE=REAL END
DECLare NAME=SIGI  DOMAin=RECIprocal TYPE=REAL END
DECLare NAME=FOBS  DOMAin=RECIprocal TYPE=REAL END
DECLare NAME=SIGMA DOMAin=RECIprocal TYPE=REAL END
INDEx=    0    0    2 IOBS=    437675.00 SIGI=     25406.00
                      FOBS=     661.57 SIGMA=      19.49
INDEx=    0    0    4 IOBS=     19968.30 SIGI=       712.90
                      FOBS=     141.31 SIGMA=       2.55
INDEx=    0    0   10 IOBS=    112547.00 SIGI=      3318.00

I don't know where the problem lies. If anyone knows, can you please
suggest a possible
remedy?

Thanks very much,
Pradeep
