error in pair_coeff when using read_data command.

Hii all,

I have made a simulation box using atomsk software for a bcc crystal direction <111> oriented with z axis of simulation box. when I use read_data command it shows the following error.Input script and data file is attached. Can someone tell what is the problem. Also, when I use the same script without reading external data file and defining my simulation box using lattice and region command. The error doesn’t appear. I could not figure out the issue.

Output :

LAMMPS (11 Aug 2017)

please check the documentation for pair style eam/alloy what the requirements for the pair_coeff command are and compare that to the number of atom types in your data file.
