Using db objects in replay file

egolowen

Hi,

I am trying to use SKILL code in order to generate a bunch of commands (which go into a replay file) to move instances in my layout (using the dbMoveFig function).
I am having issues with the db object inside of the command itself. For example, something like this:
          dbMoveFig(db:0x27db609b nil list(-2.020000:4.300000 "R0"))
generates an error.

Is there some way to include a specific db object in the commands in my replay file without generating errors?

Thanks,
Elizabeth

    If you're getting that error, you can't be using the foreach as Quek suggested. You must be literally using db:xxxxxxxx as the input to the function. You can't do that, and it is never necessary to do that. 

    The dbIds are per-session and may not be the same (quite unlikely to be the same) between different invocations of virtuoso. Also, the dbId is the "print representation" of the dbId, and only output to allow you to see that it's a dbId and whether it is the same as another dbId in the same session (for example).

    So why are you trying to enter literal dbIds rather than using a loop (you said before you were using a loop)? Maybe you're generating this replay file programmatically? If so, put the loop code in the replay file rather than references to the objects.
