"dft input: unknown directive" in ONIOM jobs


Clicked A Few Times
Dear NWChem Developpers and Users,


I'm in trouble when I use the x3lyp functional in ONIOM module. In particular, when I use the x3lyp functional I need to write this string in my input:

xc vwn_1_rpa 0.129 lyp 0.871 hfexch 0.218 slater 0.782 becke88 nonlocal 0.542 xperdew91 nonlocal 0.167

for this reasons, my input in the module is:



oniom
model 26 charge 0
low dft basis "small" input "dft\; xc vwn_1_rpa 0.129 lyp 0.871 hfexch 0.218 slater 0.782 becke88 nonlocal 0.542 xperdew91 nonlocal 0.167\; end"
high dft basis "large" input "dft\; xc vwn_1_rpa 0.129 lyp 0.871 hfexch 0.218 slater 0.782 becke88 nonlocal 0.542 xperdew91 nonlocal 0.167\; end"
end


but unfortunately in output I have the error:

If I use slater functional there are no problem and the job works well. Can someone help me to resolve it?

I think is a problem related to the length of the functional, is there a method to write the x3lyp functional in a shorter way or to set it in some variable that I can recall inside the oniom module?

Thanks a lot

Unfortunately I am not able to reproduce your failure.
Could you please post your complete input file?
What version of NWChem are you using?
