save currents in a spectre netlist, run the netlist in batch mode and the currents is saved as instance_name:number

ckseok

To save current into port "A" of instance "IDRIVER", I add the following line in the spectre netlist.

save IDRIVER:A

Then, I run the netlist in batch mode.

After simulation is finished, the result browser shows IDRIVER:2 instead of IDRIVER:A.

How can I make the simulator save current as Instance_name:port_name instead of instance_name:number?

Thank you.

     Thanks for the reply, Andrew.  I had copied the termOrder list (each pin within quotes) into the termMapping field, under the spectre simulator information field.  Additionally, I deleted the saved pins in the outputs, exited the simulator, and removed the results directory.  Restarted virtuoso, loaded the state, resaved the pins in the output section.  The cellview "schematic_spf" is an empty schematic listed as a stop view, with an include statement for the .spf file.  The voltage waveforms look fine, but no luck, however, for saving the currents.  The data isn't present in the results directory.  Anything else I might be missing?  Did I enter the termMapping field incorrectly?  Should the format match the termOrder list?
