Hi Tim, Have you tried using XDSCONV, it will convert the HKL file to an MTZ without much trouble. Is there are reason you want the unmerged HKL file rather than using XSCALE for scaling and merging? You can choose to leave the data unmerged in XSCALE but converting it to an MTZ file will automatically merge the data. This is the typical procedure I used for XDS: Runs XDS ---> Run XSCALE (makes an .ahkl file) --> Run XDSCONV (makes the .mtz file) This is the simple script I used for XDSCONV.INP OUTPUT_FILE=RKS-II-152_test.hkl CCP4_I INPUT_FILE=RKS-II-152_unmerged.ahkl !format is XDS_ASCII by default FRIEDEL'S_LAW=FALSE !TRUE by default GENERATE_FRACTION_OF_TEST_REFLECTIONS=0.05 !MERGE=FALSE Just follow the onscreen instructions after you start XDSCONV.

When I first uploaded the XDS_ASCII.HKL file, there was an error message about "No valid observed reflections found in this file". Subsequently I uploaded an unmerged hklf4 file. The GUI tells me I need to let phenix know about it being hklf4 by appending '=hklf4'. However, when I do so, there is an error message the file did not exist and the Data file line goes red. Where should I correctly append '=hklf4'? At the bottom, the message states it would be best to recover the original reflection data such as [...] XDS [...]. This suggests that the original XDS_ASCII.HKL could be used. Is this correct in if so, how do I put it into phenix?
