Thank you again! I'm trying with this corrected input, but I get this 
message and the calculation stops just before starting  "SCF WAVEFUNCTION 
OPTIMIZATION". I'm using 112 cores 448 GB RAM with different settings: 56 
MPI, 2 openMP, 32 MPI 4 openMP, 1 MPI 1 openMP (adjusting MEMORY each time) 
but same results.

HFX_MEM_INFO| Est. max. program size before HFX [MiB]:                     
380

(This for  56 MPI, 2 openMP) 
How can it be solved?
