[DFTB-Plus-User] Problem in running the modes program

Hello sirs,

I am trying to calculate vibrational frequencies in DFTB+ using the "modes" program?. My modes_in.hsd file format is shown below.

Geometry = GenFormat {
 <<< "1.gen"
}
Driver = {}
Hamiltonian = DFTB {
SCC = Yes
SCCTolerance = 1.0e-6
MaxSCCIterations = 200
Mixer = Broyden {
MixingParameter = 0.2
}
SlaterKosterFiles = {
  C-C = "/rcg/ajp/slako/halorg-0-1/C-C.skf"
  C-H = "/rcg/ajp/slako/halorg-0-1/C-H.skf"
  C-Cl = "/rcg/ajp/slako/halorg-0-1/C-Cl.skf"
  H-C = "/rcg/ajp/slako/halorg-0-1/H-C.skf"
  H-H = "/rcg/ajp/slako/halorg-0-1/H-H.skf"
  H-Cl = "/rcg/ajp/slako/halorg-0-1/H-Cl.skf"
  Cl-C = "/rcg/ajp/slako/halorg-0-1/Cl-C.skf"
  Cl-H = "/rcg/ajp/slako/halorg-0-1/Cl-H.skf"
  Cl-Cl = "/rcg/ajp/slako/halorg-0-1/Cl-Cl.skf"
  }
MaxAngularMomentum = {
Cl = "p"
C = "p"
H = "s"
}
Hessian = {}
Charge = 0.000000
SpinPolarisation = {}
  Filling = Fermi {
    Temperature [Kelvin] = 50.000000
  }
}

Options = {
  CalculateForces = Yes
}

ParserOptions = {
  ParserVersion = 3
}

When I ran the modes program, I saw this error

ERROR!
-> Missing child: SlaterKosterFiles


I checked dftb user question and answer and realised that I need to generate a hessian.out but I don't know the input format for how to generate a hessian.out. Please can you help me with a good modes_in.hsd input format as well as hessian input format and also how to submit hessian input in order to generate hessian.out?

Thanks
