Loading dump file to minimize the structure

Hi everyone
I’m trying to minimize my configuration in a series of dump files. I’m using load_dump command which ends up in this error:
ERROR on proc 0: Dump file is incorrectly formatted (…/reader_native.cpp:65)
Last command: read_dump 1130000.dump 1 x y z format native

can you elaborate this error? how can I correct the format?
(I am aware that velocity is not available)

My dump file:

You have to update LAMMPS or delete ITEM: TIME keyword and the next line.
