Dear Rene,

   When I am calling Analysis->SetMakeClass(1); as suggested by you before calling SetBranchAddress, I am getting segmentation fault. I am attaching the log file with this mail. Regards,
Sudeep

Hi Sudeep,

By default when you create a top level branch with sub branches, ROOT assumes that you will give the address of the top level branch to read the sub-branches into the original class/structure. If you want to read a sub-branch into your own variable, you must call

   Analysis->SetMakeClass(1);
before calling SetBranchAddress
