I think if the parameters are not defined and we are using ppoton = 1 the program should give an error. Why would we want them to be 0 if they are not defined?

In subroutines like PAIRPOTTAB, the part for determine which pair potential to use is like this:
IF ((ATELE(I) .EQ. PPELE1(K) .AND. ATELE(J) .EQ. PPELE2(K)) & .OR. (ATELE(J) .EQ. PPELE1(K) .AND. & ATELE(I) .EQ. PPELE2(K))) THEN
PPSEL = K RCUT = PPR(PPTABLENGTH(PPSEL), PPSEL) RCUT2 = RCUT*RCUT
ENDIF
If the pair potential is not defined for a pair of atom, it will use the pair potential function of last loop to compute the pair potential. Maybe it will be better to use zero for these non-existing parameters? It seems set RCUT2=ZERO for those pairs will make it wok.

Give an error message will also work. It will not give an error for PPOTON=2. I'm trying to fit the repulsive potential for Fe-C in the table format. In order to do that, I will need to set Fe-C repulsive potential to be zero first. I try both setting Fe-C pair potential to zero or directly remove the Fe-C parameter from ppots.dftb file. The two ways gave very different forces and energy. That's why I open this issue...
So you need to turn of ppot only for a selected pair of species. Could you do that by setting the preexponential factor to 0?

Yes, I can do that. And in fact, that is just what I did. I'm using table format (PPOTON= 2), I just set the second column of the table to be zero for Fe C.
It seems on my computer, for PPOTON= 1, it will not raise an error if a pair parameter is not defined either. (see attached example) test_ppots.zip
I see. Feel free to add an error message if ppot is 1 and the parameters are not defined. That is something that we need.
