Oceanscript fails to carry on once a simulation bombs

Hello, I use oceanscripting to run my PVT sims in Cadence. However, while running the oceanscript, I have observed that if the simulation fails( due to some convergence issues) during one of the conditions in the script and the evaluated result returns "nil", printf/fprintf functions cannot handle "nil" data and thereby the script bombs and the rest of the conditions in the oceanscript do not get simulated. I would like to know if there is a workaround for this problem. Is there a way I could print the "nil" result as 0.0 in my result file and make the oceanscript carry on with the rest of the simulation conditions. Regards, Uzzy

    Hi Uzzy

    Would using %L in your printf/fprintf cmds in place of %s, %d, %f, etc help? Or perhaps you can add a check in your script to detect nil results:

    unless( results
       results="0.0"
    ) ;unless

    printf("Results are %g\n" results)


    Best regards
