[Bhatt, Mahesh]

Hi,
I found my mistake. Thank you for your kind support.

Sincere Regards

As the error says, in the block for CoordsAndCharges, there is a word,
which can not be interpreted as a real number. I don't know which one it
is, but you can find it, by removing the second half of the charges and
see, whether the error still occurs. If not, it was in the 2nd half, if
yes, it was in the first half. Then, you can keep that part, which
contains the error, and divide it into half again (searching for errors
by bisection).

  Best regards,
