ABSTRACT GENERATOR : absSelectCell for a multi-cells Library, syntax ?

samung
Hello,

I would like to know what is the syntax for the cells selection, to generate the ABSTRACT views and LEF file for a multi-cells library. let's say : cellA, cellB, cellC.

I have in my abstract.record :

absSkillMode()
absSetLibrary("library_name_xxxx")
absAttachTechLib("tech_file_name_xxx")
absSetLibrary("library_name_xxxx")
absSelectCell(".............")  <= line under investigation
absDisableUpdate()
absSetBinOption("Core" "PinsPowerNames" "vdd")
absSetBinOption("Core" "PinsGroundNames" "vss")
absSetBinOption("Core" "PinsOutputNames" "Q QN")
absSetBinOption("Core" "PinsClockNames" "")
absSetBinOption("Core" "PinsAnalogNames" "")
absSetBinOption("Core" "ExcludeExistingTerminals" "")
absSetBinOption("Core" "PinsBoundaryCreate" "off")
absEnableUpdate()
absPins()
absDisableUpdate()
absSetBinOption("Core" "ExtractSig" "false")
...


1/ attempt FAILS :
conf_file :
set cells_list "cellA cellB cellC"

abstract_batch.log :
REPLAY    (ABS-1429): 5  absSelectCell("cellA cellB cellC")
ERROR     (ABS-1308): Failed to open the cellA cellB cellC cell because either the cell does not exist or you are using an options or replay file from another library and the cell does not exist in the destination library. Ensure that the cell exists and then try again.

2/ attempt 2 FAILS :
conf_file :
set cells_list "cellA cellB cellC"

abstract_batch.log :
REPLAY    (ABS-1429): 5  absSelectCell("cellA cellB cellC" "cellA cellB cellC")
*Error* absSelectCell: too many arguments (1 expected, 2 given) - ("cellA cellB cellC" "cellA cellB cellC")
 
I don't have the ABS-1429 details in my doc....
 

Thanks a lot !

P.
