Many thanks Matthias for your reply. So, basically there is no need for the
"*&POISSON* " section and it can be like this for periodic and non-periodic
calculations:

*For periodic calculations:*


*&CELLABC [angstrom] 23.0 23.0 23.0&END CELL*

*For non-periodic calculations:*

*&CELLABC [angstrom] 23.0 23.0 23.0*
*PERIODIC NONE*
*&END CELL*

Right?
