qlateral

Hi,
 
I am trying to model inflow to a 1D basechain model by qlateral. This flow must be assigned to a x-section whose name is input as a string.
Now, when I do this in following way:

EXTERNAL_SOURCE {
                    name = inflow_station
                    type = qlateral
                    file = korangi_rd_ups_Q.txt
                    side = right
                }
  I receive an error msg as follows:
   
  Block-Error: Cross section 'unspecified_cross_section' for qlateral EXTERNAL_SOURCE could not be found in the cross-section order. Use the exact name of the cross section as defined in GEOMETRY 'cross_section_order'

This despite the fact that x-section name is exactly as it appears in bmg file or in 'Geometry/cross-section_order'.

Regards
