How can you create a global net in a Spectre netlist that does not end in !

The model library I have from the foundry has a global signal in the components called PSUB. The foundry says to create a global net PSUB at the begining of the netlist and connect it to ground. The only way to create a global in virtuoso seems to be to give it the ! postscript. When I do this, the names don't match and I still have floating nodes. Is there some way to resolve this besides modifying the whole model library?

    Yes the solution above did work. The error I was seeing was related to an earlier attemp I had made to fix the problem that didn't work. I thought I had removed that try, but it was still in the simulation options. When I looked at the netlist and read in the manual that you could only have one global, I assumed that this was the problem.

    Anyway, problem solved.

    Thanks for the help.
