Reading a data file in Veriloga code

Dear all,

I'm a new user with Veriloga in Cadence I wrote the following model and created a symbol to simulated it with other components but I got the following error:

FATAL (VLOGA-5096):  16: I50:  Cannot open file 'scanftest' for reading. Check this file to verify that it exists and that you have permission to open it for reading and try again. The idea is reading the numbers from the file then store each colomn in a separete array to use it after in the claculations. where I must svae the data file, it is two colomns of 9 decimal numbers and thsi is the code:

`include "constants.vams"
`include "disciplines.vams"

module VxijwithFile(x);
inout x;
electrical x;
real parameter c=1e-9,r=1e3,I=0,Vx0=1,t=5e-6;
integer A[1:9], Vxij[1:9],mcd,retval,count,f;
real Vykl[1:9],a,vx;
genvar i;

analog begin
 @(initial_step) begin
      mcd=$fopen("/home/VxijwithFile/veriloga/scanftest","r");
      retval=2;
      count=0;
      while(retval==2) begin
         retval=$fscanf(mcd,"%f %f",a,vx);
         A[count]=a;
         Vxij[count]=vx;
         Vykl[count]=0.5*(abs(Vxij[count]+1)-abs(Vxij[count]-1));
count=count+1;
      end
$fclose(mcd);

       f=0;
       for (i=1;i<8;i=i+1) begin
       f=f+A[f]*Vykl[f];
       end
end
V(x) <+ exp(-t/(r*c))+idt(exp((t-c*r)/(r*c))*(f/c));

end

endmodule

thank you
