Hi AbInit Developers and Users,
I am trying to run abinit with a large input file
with 30 datasets (ndtset) or more.
I get the following error message in my log file:
   -------------------
   0: instrng : ERROR --
   0:  The size of your input file is such that the internal
   0:  character string that should contain it is too small.
   0:  Action : decrease the size of your input file,
   0:  or contact the ABINIT group.
   -------------------

The documentation lists that jdtset (dataset id) can go
upto 99, but my input is crashing even at 30.
What seems to be the problem and how do I fix this?
I prefer not to run AbInit with only a few datasets as
I need to do a lot.
Here's a glimpse of the beginning of my input file:
Thanks,
Ravi
