dear users,
i was doing the slab calculations and wanted to fix some of the middle
layers, so at the end of the atomic positions i gave "iforce(i=1-3)=0".
but in the output the warning comes as "Warning: card   IFORCE(I=1-4)=0
ignored". what does this warning mean? and is the code going to keep the
last three atoms fixed?

thanks,
pushpa
