I am sorry about previous e-mail. The problem was caused by mycareless~ I should set the parameterfilepp(1) as a file name instead of 1~

Dear QE developers and users:
I used pp.x to show the charge density of my structure: TiC (100) surface with one layer of Ni.
Of course, this model may not good enough, but, after pw.x running, pp.x gave an error and stopped.
The error is:
Calling punch_plot, plot_num =   0
Writing data to file  edensity
Reading data from file  1
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
from plot_io : error #         2
opening file 1
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
I also calculated for TiC cell without vacuum slab, every thing went right in this case. The difference is that the charge density file we obtained from filplot = '' in surface case was much larger (3.0MiB) than the one in cell case (smaller than 500KiB).
The version of QE I am using is 4.3, this problem occurred both in Red Hat, Mandriva and Ubuntu system.
My calculation script:
#!/bin/sh

cat >TiC.scf.in <<EOF

   prefix = 'TiC_Ni' ,

Is this problem cased by huge size of charge density file? How could I overcome this problem?
Best Regards.
