Dear Jason,

Thank you very much for your reply.

The problem has been solved according to your suggestions.

I modified the atom name and residue name of Cl- according to the format in
pdbxyz.f, and it works.

...
ATOM 2459 OXT GLY 153 -17.901 4.475 -11.067 1.00 0.00
TER
HETATM 2460 CL CL 154 -0.396 16.562 -0.070 1.00 0.00
TER
HETATM 2461 CL CL 155 -14.052 -6.988 7.849 1.00 0.00
...

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Ya Gao
