Route Section: # Keyword
Last Update:
12/31/2000
The route section of a Gaussian 98 job is initiated by a
pound sign (#) as the first non-blank character of a line. The remainder of the
section is in free-field format. For most jobs, all of the information can be
placed on this first line, but overflow to other lines (which may but need not
begin with a # symbol) is permissible. The route section must be terminated by
a blank line.
If no keywords are present in the route section, the calculation
defaults to HF/STO-3G SP.
#N Normal print level; this is the default.
#P Additional output is generated. This includes
messages at the beginning and end of each link giving assorted
machine-dependent information (including execution timing data), as well as
convergence information in the SCF.
#T Terse output: output is reduced to essential
information and results.
