Dear Georg,

When you start SADABS, the first question is whether you rquire 'expert mode'. This mode asks more questions to set additional parameters. If you select expert mode, the second question is the maximum number of reflections. 2000000 is merely the default value. I would be interested to hear which important 'merging statistics' are output by Phenix but not SADABS+XPREP.

Best wishes, George

Dear George and Phil, thanks a lot for the fast answers. Things are 
unfortunately a bit more complicated and the usually very convenient way using 
SAINT-SADABS-XPREP has too much limitations for this datasets because

1. It starts with that one datasets has more than 2.000.000 reflections (space 
group P1, high redundancy and high resolution), so I already have to split the 
initial datasets in two. (SADABS can just process 2.000.000 reflections, 
probably something archaic from old days, when computers were not so fast?)

2. I can then of course combine them with xprep but the XPREP (version 2014/2) 
writes out just merged .sca file. Other formats hkl4, hkl3 are unmerged but can 
be just used with the command line version of xtriage and phenix merging 
statistics (which is a part of the phenix suite and needs additional inputs 
(spacegroup). However as aimless writes out all the statistics too, it is not 
necessary to run these phenix programs anyhow.

Thank you both of you again, for the great programs and support.
@Phil I will send you the SAINT manual and a small raw file offlist.
@George can I write out unmerged .sca files from xprep and does it also print 
out CC*?

(Of course I always use the latest ccp4, but I hoped the old one might work in 
my case).
