how to use variable in parameter sweep

sjwprc

I want to transfer the expression result (X) in test A to test B by calcVal function.  Then I wish test B to run transient simulation using parametric sweep based on X, e.g., from X-2, X-1, X, X+1 and X+2. However, cadence say it can't use variable to define sweep range. Is there any solution to do this kind simulation ?

The tool I am using is IC617. 

Best regards

    This can be done by creating a dummy sweep variable called (say) "mysweepvar" which is set to -2:1:2 and then make your variable Y in test B:

    calcVal("X" "A")+VAR("mysweepvar")

    Regards,

    Andrew.
