Hi, ALL

I met a strange error when trying to run a LAMMPS job. There was no detailed information
about what the exact error was, but only one piece of information saying that “scanning the
data file”.
The data file was generated by the msi2lmp utility with no error message, and the parameter
file was taken from one of the examples from LAMMPS.
I have no clue about the solution. Could anyone provide some suggestions ? Thanks in advance !

Well the code is reading and scanning the data file. It gave
no error or crash? Did it just hang?

Yes, it just hang there until the job time reaches the limit.

The most likely reason is you have a badly formatted data
file. But I can't think of why the scan would hang and
not throw an error. I suggest you put some print statements
in the read_data scan() routine and see where it is
hanging up.
