Dear Abinit Users!

I have faced with a problem using tabulated atomic ONCVPSP data for Hydrogen from current Pseudo Dojo.
Simple optimization run aborts with a message:

--- !ERROR
src_file: psp8in.F90
src_line: 423
mpi_rank: 0
message: |
Bad integer for item 1 in list input

And following service information from the run is listed below:

- pspini: atom type 1 psp file is H.psp8
- pspatm: opening atomic psp file H.psp8
- H ONCVPSP r_core= 1.01 0.71
- 1.00000 1.00000 150120 znucl, zion, pspdat
8 11 1 1 300 0.00000 pspcod,pspxc,lmax,lloc,mmax,r2well
2.99000000000000 0.00000000000000 0.00000000000000 rchrg,fchrg,qchrg
nproj 2 0

MPI-IO support is OFF

Notably, a run on a model with omitted H-atoms (and thus, avoiding H.psp8) goes smooth.
What could be wrong with psp8-file for H? And how to fix it?

Thanks!

I imagine you are using abinit7.
In this case, you have to set the value of extension_switch to 0.
Just open the file in an editor and change the line with extension_switch.

From the web-site:

Version Compatibility
The PDv0.2 table is directly compatible with ABINIT version 7.10.5.
For previous ABINIT versions, one needs to change the extension_switch in line 6 of the pseudo potential file from 1 to 0. The tar file contains a script to do this for all pseudo potential files.
