glycosaminoglycan with GLYCAM06 in amber format

Dear NAMD users and developers,

I am trying to simulate a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) molecule in water
using GLYCAM06 force field.

The topology/parameters and coordinates files I am implementing are in Amber
format (filename.parm7 and filename.crd).

Soon, in attempting to minimise the system, I get the following error:

#########################################################
Reading parm file (filename.parm7) ...
PARM file in AMBER 7 format
FATAL ERROR: Failed to read AMBER parm file!
------------- Processor 0 Exiting: Called CmiAbort ------------
Reason: FATAL ERROR: Failed to read AMBER parm file!

Any suggestion or hints about this would be really appreciated.

I should add that both files work fine with Amber software, hence
I assume they do not contain errors.

Many thanks in advance.

All the best,
