I'm trying to plot closure phases using the task CLPLT. I cannot plot the data if I set docal=1 and gainuse=5. The table CL-5 was created with CLCAL to apply the solutions from global fringe-fitting on the source SGRA.

I attach the plot when applying CL 4 for triangle 234 when you can see good phases, and when applying CL 5 I got the following message, 

vlba1.> CLPLT1: vlba1 31DEC15 TST: Cpu=     17.3  Real=     17  IO=     22743
vlba1.> CLPLT1: Task CLPLT  (release of 31DEC15) begins
vlba1.> CLPLT1: Averaging from channel    1-  64
vlba1.> CLPLT1: Averaging from IF    1-  16
vlba1.> CLPLT1: UVGET: Using flag table version   2 to edit data
vlba1.> CLPLT1: FOUND   0 POINTS: NOT ENOUGH TO SELF-SCALE
vlba1.> CLPLT1: Purports to die of UNNATURAL causes
vlba1.> CLPLT1: vlba1 31DEC15 TST: Cpu=      9.0  Real=      9  IO=     11372

the data are not flagged because I can see the visibilities with the task EDITR (figure also attached) by setting also docal=1 and gainuse=5.
Changing the number of IFs or channels to average, or the solint parameter do not make any difference. 
The project is BD183C which use the LMT antenna. Here are the inputs of the CLPLT task:
