CDL syntax error

I think that's valid (although I'm not that familiar with Calibre). It might be more of a question for Mentor (seeing the error message would probably help though)?

The syntax problem is with the use of $PINS to show the connections for the plus, minus, and sub pins.
Here are the following legal spice syntax used by Calibre for resistors:
Rxxx n1 n2 <mname> <r <tc1 <tc2 <scale <m <ac>>>>>>
+ <L=l> <W=w> <parnam=pval> ... <$SUB=ns>
+ <$[mname] | $.MODEL=mname> <$W=w> <$L=l> <$X=x> <$Y=y>
+ <$D=d>

Rxxx n1 n2 <mname> <r <TC=tc1 <tc2 <scale>>>> <M=m> <AC=ac>
+ <L=l> <W=w> <parnam=pval> ... <$SUB=ns>
+ <$[mname] | $.MODEL=mname> <$W=w> <$L=l> <$X=x> <$Y=y>
+ <$D=d>

Rxxx n1 n2 <mname> <R=r> <TC1=tc1> <TC2=tc2> <SCALE=scale>
+ <M=m> <AC=ac> <L=l> <W=w> <parnam=pval> ... <$SUB=ns>
+ <$[mname] | $.MODEL=mname> <$W=w> <$L=l> <$X=x> <$Y=y>
+ <$D=d>

Table 18-10 shows the arguments. The following are some examples:
R1 1 2 4 $comment
R2 n5 n6 4 TC=2 3 4 M=3 W=10U L=20U AAA=5 BBB="zz" $[x]
R3 na nb 4 1 1 4 M=3 $SUB=3 $.MODEL=x $W=10U $L=20U

Since your source netlist does not follow these resistor syntax structures, you need to see about netlisting setup within Composer.
Here is your syntax:
RR0 rpodwo R=655 M=1 $PINS MINUS=plus BULK=nwell PLUS=minus

I changed the netlisting procedure and calibre finally runs

Thanks!!!

Ah, it's probably that the $PINS syntax can only be used with subckt instances (i.e. with X at the beginning of the line), and not with native resistors.
