Alert level G
FORMU01_ALERT_2_G  There is a discrepancy between the atom counts in the
            _chemical_formula_sum and the formula from the _atom_site* data.
            Atom count from _chemical_formula_sum:H7 Dy1 O10 P2
            Atom count from the _atom_site data:  H5 Dy1 O10 P2
CELLZ01_ALERT_1_G Difference between formula and atom_site contents detected.
CELLZ01_ALERT_1_G WARNING: H atoms missing from atom site list. Is this intentional?
           From the CIF: _cell_formula_units_Z    2
           From the CIF: _chemical_formula_sum  Dy1 H7 O10 P2
