Dear ABINIT users:

   The PAW methods take great advantage of the lower cutoff energy compared with Norm-conserving PP, but when I try to use it to perform phonon
calculations, there are errors at last of the log:
------------------------------------------
 chkinp: machine precision is   2.2204460492503131E-16

 chkinp: Checking input parameters for consistency, jdtset= 1.

  smaller or equal to   9.

Does this mean that I can't use PAW method to perform a phonon calcluation? Thanks!
