CDL generation with command si: how to specify a path instead of "netlist" for the resultFile ?

hello,

doing the CDL netlist generation from an open access cell schematics I encounter an issue.

I would like to know if it's possible to specify a path, such as toto/titi/cell.cdl as the resultFile of the command:

si -cdslib pathToCdsLib/cds.lib -batch -command $resultFile

In my runDir, I have the cds.lib and the si.env

  • The si commands generates a netlist, in case I have the following setting:

si -cdslib pathToCdsLib/cds.lib -batch -command netlist

si.env:
hnlNetlistFileName = "netlist"

  • If I switch to the below setting:

si -cdslib pathToCdsLib/cds.lib -batch -command toto/titi/cell.cdl

si.env:
hnlNetlistFileName = "toto/titi/cell.cdl"

I have:
*Error* lineread/read: syntax error encountered in input at line 1 column 2 in file *stdin*

Thanks a lot for any help !!

P.
