ABAQUS does not consider my B.Cs from the Input file

Dear all,

I have an UEL and I'm using an input file to address the material and geometry properties. But when I see the results it seems ABAQUS has not addressed the defined BCs and some of BC nodes are free. Here are my command lines:

*BOUNDARY, TYPE=DISP
Clamp-up,ENCASTRE
Sym-Left, XSYMM
Sym-Right, XSYMM
Sym-Bottum, YSYMM

In the msg file I have the following:

COLLECTING STEP CONSTRAINT INFORMATION FOR OVERCONSTRAINT CHECKS
*****WARNING LFLAGS(3)= 4
*****WARNING LFLAGS(3)= 4
.
.
This warning " *****WARNING LFLAGS(3)= " is defined in the UEL FORTRAN code to show up when LFLAGS(3) is not equal to 1.
Do you have any suggestions? Can I change the value of LFLAGS(3)?

Thanks for your help and time,
Roshanak
