How to use ptllmin and ptllmax parameters in run_card.dat

Hello,

I am trying to generate the following process:
define l+ = e+ mu+ ta+
define l- = e- mu- ta-
define vl = ve vm vt
define vl~ = ve~ vm~ vt~
define wpm = w+ w-
generate p p > w+{0} z{0}, w+ > l+ vl, z > l+ l- @0
add process p p > w+{0} z{0} j, w+ > l+ vl, z > l+ l- @1

But with a ptllmin and ptllmax cuts. I am using madgraph version 2.7.2.

One question is what ptllmin and ptllmax exactly mean? I just wanted to make sure my understanding is correct.

Second, when I run the program with ptllmin = 10.0, I get the following error msg. (I have also attached the debug report after this error msg). I wanted to understand how to use this parameter.
