[daip] SPLIT problem

Thank you for your advise.

I checked my data by UVPLT with "DOCAL 1" and there are the data which
include MK.
So, my CL or SN tables are correct.
Then I tried to check BP table by POSSM with "aparm(8) 1" and found
there are no data for LHCP of MK.
Moreover, when I tried to SPLIT the data with "DOBAN -1" it worked well.
So, there are no problem with SPLIT and I suspect BPASS doesn't work well.

Could you give me more advise about BPASS to calibrate LHCP of MK ?
My BPASS parameters are below.
CL table 6 include calibration for baseline which include LHCP of MK
withou fail.
