skill command to get the current library name

Thanks andrew,

I will take the secound option.

I wrote a sshort simple GUI that suppose to be open from the lmgr:

; create a new pull-down menu, to contain the toggle example
lmgrCreateMenu("RF_Menu" '(("label" "RF")))

; Add the new pull-down menu into the menu banner
lmgrAddMenuItems("menuBar" "" '("RF_Menu"))

lmgrCreateMenuItem("sortutility" "simple"
'(("label" "sort Gui")
("callback" ("sort_by_date"))
)
)

; Create a pull-down to contain the 1 radio options
lmgrCreateMenu("RadioPulldown" '(("label" "Sort by date utility")))

; Add the radio options to the pull-down. Note that radio options must
; be in their own submenu
lmgrAddMenuItems("RadioPulldown" "" '("sortutility"))
lmgrAddMenuItems("RF_Menu" "" '("RadioPulldown"))

procedure( sort_by_date()

MLsort()

printf("yes\n")

hiDisplayForm(ADsort)
)

procedure( MLsort()

ADsort = hiCreateAppForm(
?name 'ADsort
?formTitle "Sort library cells by date"
?buttonLayout '(OKCancelDefApply)
?buttonDisabled '(Apply)
?dialogStyle 'modeless
?initialSize 330:780
?minSize 330:780
?maxSize 330:550
?unmapAfterCB t
?dontBlock t
?mapCB   "nil";; in start up
?callback  list("nil");; in close - OK or apply
;?help
?fields list(
 

list( hiCreateStringField(
?name 'srcLib
?prompt "Library"
?defValue "rftc55u__sim_menyl "
?callback "ddsUpdateSyncWithForm()" )
20:20 260:025 80
) 

list( hiCreateButton(
?name 'SrcBrowseBtn
?buttonText "Browse..."
?enabled t
?callback "ddsSyncWithForm( ADsort 'browse 'srcLib )"
) 20:60 260:025 80 )

list( hiCreateButton(
?name 'Srcsort
?buttonText "Sort by date"
?enabled t
?callback some Awk program that run sortingl"
) 20:90 260:025 80 )

)))

but I keep  getting error  :

 *Error* eval: undefined function - sort_by_date
<<< Stack Trace >>>
sort_by_date("sortutility" "" "" "" "" ... )
(... in ddsiLMCEval ...)
(... in ddsLMCMenuItem ...)
ddsLMCMenuItem(1 "sortutility" "sort_by_date" ("" "" "" "" ""))

any ideas?

thx
