Is there a built-in variable in CIW can show ICFB version?

My company use different version of ICFB for different projects. I'd like to identify the version number in my SKILL init files.

Thanks!

    Hi,

    There is not a variable, but there is a function for getting the version, getVersion(), it can be used in two ways, with no argument, or with an argument (e.g. passing the value 't').  Brief examples:

    getVersion()
    => "@(#)$CDS: virtuoso version 6.1.5 06/06/2011 22:23 (sjfdl229) $"
    
    getVersion(t)
    => "sub-version  IC6.1.5.500.4 "
    

    The latter case can be used to get the subversion information.  I hope that this helps you and answers your question!

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
