[molpro-user] BUG report: MCSCF VB output

Dear all,

Thanks for the responses and advice.  On closer inspection it seems that the VB actually works fine and outputs all the state energies correctly after the CI vectors at the end of the calculation.  However, higher up in the output, where each state is given individually in the form:

Results for state 1.1
=====================

!MCSCF STATE 1.1 Energy              -76.082673308319

-----------------

There seems to be a problem.  The parameters reported for each state identical and are in fact those of the state averaged wavefunction (energy matches exactly the SA_VB_CAS energy).  Therefore i think this is just a bug in the output code that reads the results of the VB and prints them in the output file.  This only seems to affect variational VB called from the MULTI routine.

Unfortunately it also affects the internal variables so calling the variable names subsequently to make a table of energies does not work either.  Perhaps this could go on the bug list?

Many thanks,
Mike

Dear Molpro users,

Does anyone know if it is possible to get several states from a fully variational VB wavefunction calculation.  I have tried with water as a test case:
-------------INPUT-----------

hf

{multi
wf,10,1,0
state,2
locorb
}

{multi
wf,10,1,0
state,2
vb
}
------------------------------

The calculation runs seemingly ok, but the energies of both the states from the VB calculation are identical (see output below)

The energies of the states in the preceding MO based MULTI are different and correct.
Any ideas what i'm doing wrong here?
