[Pw_forum] Help With Bandstructure Calculation

Hello,

I am using QE 5.2.0 in windows 7(64 ) and I can run the the scf and bands
calculations. The commands that I use are:

*E:*
*cd E:\Quantum ESPRESSO 64-bit 5.2.0-mpich2*
*mpiexec -localonly -np 32 pw < MoS210M_1.scf.inp > MoS210M_1.scf.out*
*::mpiexec -localonly -np 32 pw < MoS210M_1.bands.inp > MoS210M_1.bands.out*
*pause*

However, when I run the following command, I get an error. I would
appreciate if you could help me with the error.

*mpiexec -localonly bands <BandCalc.inp> BandCalc.out *

The BandCalc.inp file has been copied below:

*&BANDS*
* prefix='MoS2',*
* outdir = 'E:\Quantum ESPRESSO 64-bit 5.2.0-mpich2\MoS210M_1\outdir'*
* filband= 'MoS210M_1.bands.dat'*
* lsym= .true.,*
*\*

This file generates the BandCalc.out file and the .dat file (which contains
the bandstructure) is not generated. The error that I get in the
BandCal.out file has been copied below:
