I am running a job with the ANO-RCC basis. However, for some reason, I get this error message below
ERROR: Abend in RdBsl:Too high angular momentum in basis set input
I tried to fix this by modifying the basis set for Dy by deleting the h function from the basis set and the calculation proceeded without the error.
I am wondering if there is another way to get the job to run without deleting the h function. Looks like I can only use basis function with the maximum angular momentum of g. Is this how Molcas is programmed or is there a way to bypass this? Thanks and stay safe everyone.

Angular momentum up to u (l=15), or k (l=7) if using RICD, should be supported. Can you share your input?

Dear Ignacio,
Thanks for your response. I am not sure if this is correct, but I believe RICD can only be specified under &gateway?
In this case, the coordinate also need to come under &gateway in which way one needs to use the usual xyz format either having it as a separate file or using the same method to specify it under gateway. However, Doing that would mean that I can't assign two different basis set to similar atoms. You can see from my input that I have assigned two different bases set to C depending on their environment. This is the reason I have adopted cholesky instead of RICD.
In principle, I am trying to replicate a previous report on nature in other to apply some findings to my calculation to see why I am getting some very weird energy barrier. Below is the description as given on the supplementary information of the paper (https://www.nature.com/articles/nature23447)
We used MOLCAS 8.026 to perform CASSCF-SO calculations of 1. We employed the molecular geometry of the [Dy(Cpttt)2]+ cation from the single crystal X-ray structure with no optimisation, taking the largest disorder component only. Basis sets from ANO-RCC library27,28were employed with VQZP quality for Dy, VTZP quality for the cyclopentadienyl C atoms, and VDZP quality for all remaining atoms, employing the second-order DKH transformation. Cholesky decomposition of the two-electron integrals with a threshold of 10-8 was performed to save disk space and reduce computational demand. The molecular orbitals (MOs) were optimised in state-averaged CASSCF calculations, where the active space was defined by the nine 4f electrons in the seven 4f orbitals of Dy(III). Three such calculations were performed independently for each possible spin state, where 21 roots were included for S = 5/2, 224 roots were included for S = 3/2, and 490 roots were included for S = 1/2. The wavefunctions obtained from these CASSCF calculations were then mixed by spin orbit coupling, where all 21 S = 5/2 states, 128 of the S = 3/2 states, and 130 of the S = 1/2 states were included. The resulting spin orbit wavefunctions were decomposed into their CF wavefunctions, and the magnetic susceptibility calculated (see Magnetism) using SINGLE_ANISO29.
Apart from the problem I am facing with the basis set. I am also confused about how this paper combined three different CASSCF calculation to run one single_aniso job. If I run 3 different RASSCF jobs for the multiplicity of 6, 4 and 2, what file do I need from each file to run the single_aniso? I want to also believe that when running the RASSCF jobs, I do not need to run the RASSI. I only run the RASSI when I want to combine the three RASSCF results to run single_aniso, is this correct?
Also, could you guide me on what the input for this single_aniso would be like using the description reported in the paper above? Initially, I had thought that specifying as follows
MLTP
3
6 4 2
under the single_aniso would account for all 3 multiplicity for Dy3+, but from the paper, it doesn't look so. Honestly, I had thought that running this one job as shown in the input file below should reproduce the result they have, but clearly, it doesn't work.

If you don't use GATEWAY, you can specify RICD in SEWARD
In GATEWAY you can also use the same "native" coordinate/basis-set specification.
With the "xyz" format you can also specify different basis sets for different atoms, adding "labels" with an underscore, e.g.:
&GATEWAY
Coord = 2
H_a 0.350000000 0.000000000 0.000000000
H_b -0.350000000 0.000000000 0.000000000
Basis = H_a.6-31G,H_b.STO-3G
You need RASSI whenever you want to combine separate RASSCF calculations (to compute transition properties, obtain orthogonal states or mix with spin-orbit coupling).
