Whats wrong with this ocean code

Hey all,

I'm new to Ocean and just trying to get a paramAnalysis running and looking at the waveforms.  Can anyone tell me whats wrong with the nested paramAnalysis below?  All the expected sims are running but I don't see the results the the data structure passed back.

paramAnalysis("Idac1"
               ?start 5u
               ?stop 6u
               ?step 1u
               paramAnalysis("ViMAX"
                             ?start 0.3
                             ?stop  0.4
                             ?step  0.1
                             )
             )

paramRun(  ?jobName "Param"
           ?queue "foo"
           ?block 't
         )

 

Now after this runs I try to look at the structure

 

famGetSweepValues( getData("/Vo"))

(5e-6)

So, instead of showing both 5e-6 and 6e-6 I only see the first value in the sweep.  Any idea why?

    Try this:

     paramAnalysis("Idac1" ?values '(5u 6u)
                   paramAnalysis("ViMAX" ?values '(0.3 0.4)

    ))

     Thanks Eric,

     I had forgotten I posted this.  Turns out the above code is just fine.  The problem is with our LSF queues.  If I run the above in local mode it runs fine.  In distributed mode it fails.  I've done some experimenting and the problem has something to do with file write times on our raid servers.  The LSF job returns and then looks for the data structure but the data isn't there yet so it fails.  If I put in a short (sleep 5) command and then manually re-open the results things work fine.
