When I run a Pd2Pt cluster with using Lanl2DZ(f) basis sets and its ECPs , the job completes successfully; but after adding a H2O2 molecule to the previous file along with using MG3S basis sets for O and H surprisingly I get an error which is related to ECP ! :

         --------------
         ECP POTENTIALS
         --------------
**** ERROR READING VARIABLE IZCORE   CHECK COLUMN 16
  5      ----- f potential     -----                                            
....V....1....V....2....V....3....V....4....V....5....V....6....V....7....V....8

Attached please find the two jobs :

Pd2Pt.inp  (Pd2Pt cluster, Lanl2DZ(f) basis sets and ECPs)
Pd2Pt-H2O2.inp (Pd2Pt cluster and a H2O2 molecule, Lanl2DZ(f) basis sets and its ECPs for transition metals and MG3S basis sets for H and O.

>>Dear Firefly users

>>The MG3S basis sets which are in "http://comp.chem.umn.edu/basissets/basis.cgi" can not be read and used by Firefly. There is a GAMESS or GAMESSPLUS format in this site. Is the format wrong ? I check the MG3S basis set for oxygen and hydrogen and they do not work. Your help is appreciated in advance. Many Thanks
