A question about auCdl - nlSetPcellName ...?

  Hi All,
       I am using CADENCE IC514 version. I am trying to customize CDL netlist to full-fill my reqirements. In the process
       I am trying to rename subcircuits model name.

       For example ... please consider the below ...

       original CDL statement :-
       MM1 D G S B NM W=Wfing*fing L=L m=mult  ;(This is a line in the definition of a subcircuit cell)
       required CDL statement :-
       MM1 D G S B rpposab W=Wfing*fing L=L m=mult

       I have gone through the documentation and I found the below procedure ...

       procedure( nlSetPcellName( cv paramNames paramValues )
       let( ( name value (subcktName  ""))
               foreach( (name value) paramNames paramValues
                       subcktName = strcat( subcktName name "_" value  "_")
               )
               strcat(subcktName cv->cellName )
               )
       )

       But I am not getting to which auCdl variable I have to return this('nlSetPcellName' return val) value.
       (I have tried 'auCdlModuleNameMapFunc' variable to rename cell names in my design & it's working. I am looking
       for a similar kind of variable to rename cellname/celltype of a subcircuit).

       I hope the probelm is understandable. If it doesn't I"ll come up with the more information.
       Can someone guide me to achive this ...!

       Thanks in Advance ...

    Hi Andrew,
    As I don't have permission to the 'analogLib', I copied it to another library (ex: soc_anlogLib). Now I did exactly what you described in the mail. This has solved the probelm.
    Thank you very much for your valuable suggestions.

    Thanks & Regards ...
