SKILL mechanism to determine if CDBA or OA

TrevorB
TrevorB over 15 years ago

I would like to branch my pcell code based on whether the code is running inside IC6 (OA) or IC51 (CDBA).  What is the preferred, or recommended way of doing this.  I have thought of a few ways, but I want to use something, which will be supported for the lifetime of both platforms. ... Thanks!

    Yes, thanks for the tip and the presentation, Derek!

    Since we are offering condensed functions...

    procedure(isOA()
      getd('dbGetDatabaseType) && dbGetDatabaseType() == "OpenAccess"
    )

    :-)

    If anybody else has a function that relies on a different mechanism, please let me know.  There's wisdom in a multitude of counselors.  :)
