ddDeleteObj doesn't work in nograph mode

SkillStudent

I am trying to delete cells by feeding the SKILL code to icfb in nograph mode. The following code works through the GUI but not in nograph mode:

when(ddGetObj(lib cell)
    ddDeleteObj(ddGetObj(lib cell))
)

Any solutions?

  •  It could just be that an intermediate variable isn't being used:

    ddDeleteObj(ddGetObj("deleteMe" "removeMe"))

     ...may work from the interactive parser but won't necessarily work in a script.  I've seen similar behaviour in the other code I've written so I'm always in the habit of breaking up the operation as Lawrence showed.

    Aside: You may need to follow the 'ddDeleteObj(cell)' with a 'ddReleaseObj(cell)'.  In general, matching 'myVar=ddGetObj(...)' with 'ddReleaseObj(myVar)' makes life a lot easier when you start doing more complex creation/editing of database-linked objects like 'verilog.v' or 'expand.cfg' files.
