Using variable for CDF Parameters in a netlist file

As a work around for pPar, is it possible to use a variable for a parameter in a CDL netlist file and pass the value of that variable down through hierarchy?

    The length and width of transistors are combined to use the area of the transistor for comparison in the netlist. Area is defined as a parameter for the transistor but marked as not editable. If pPar is used for the length or width the variable passes to the lower level but the default value is used for the area calculation.
