Question: how to do pdsolve numeric in this case

> sol := pdsolve({ICS, sys1, sys2, sys3, sys4, sys5, sys6, sys7}, numeric, method = rkf45, parameters = [a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p], output = listprocedure);

Error, (in pdsolve) invalid input: `pdsolve/numeric` expects its 2nd argument, IBCs, to be of type {set, list}, but received method = rkf45
