Ok!

in tleap, I use the following commands:

source leaprc.GLYCAM_06
LoadOff ions08.lib
HA = sequence {OME 4ZB 3YB 4ZB 3YB 4ZB 3YB 4ZB 3YB 4ZB 3YB 4ZB 0YB}
AddIons HA Na+ 0
SaveAmberParm HA HA.prmtop HA.inpcrd
quit

As regards the input files, I use the ones of the implicit solvent
calculations (the issues are the same).
Thank you for your help!
