streamOutKeys error with IC6.1.5 ?

Hi,

 I am trying Cadence IC6.1.5 and it seems to have some problem with the streamOutKeys syntax. Is there a new streamOutKeys syntax for IC6.1.5?

I have a template.layout file (see below) to directly fill the calibre layout export setup. This template.layout file is the one I used for Cadence IC5.1.4  and it works fine. but with Cadence IC6.1.5 when loading the template file I got this error:

*WARNING* (reader): a '(' at line 1 was still unclosed on EOF, ')' added at line 1 of string "streamOutKeys = list(nil"

*Error* symbolToString: argument #1 should be a symbol (type template = "s") - (streamOutKeys = list(nil)).

In both case I used the same version of Calibre v2012.2_17.11, so I don't the the version of calibre is the problem.

Do you have any idea about this problem ?

 Thanks,

Regards,

Kc.

    The stream interface is completely different in IC61, and the template file has changed. There is support for setting the streamOutKeys variable in SKILL, but if it's a template file, the best thing is to translate it using the pipo2Xstrm.pl utility:

    pipo2Xstrm.pl -in oldTemplate -out newTemplate

    Where oldTemplate is your old format filename and newTemplate is the one you want to generate.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
