how to instance array more efficiently

I create a skill code to layout array (only one dimension) like below.  Does the skill has any function code to layout the X-Y array?  Thanks a lot!

    fet_c_Inst = dbOpenCellView(pcLib "fet_center" "layout")
     fet_c = nil

    ;For loop to place nrow of instances
    for(instNumY 1 evalstring(nrow)    ;in Y direction
 
    ;Instantiate fet_center using calculated variables & user defined parameters
      nfet_c = append(nfet_c list(dbCreateParamInst(pcCV fet_c_Inst nil xLoc:yLoc "R0" instNumY paramList)))
    yLoc = yLoc + stepY
     ) ;; for

    Thanks for your reply.  The code works very well.   Another 2 questions,

    1. how to get the default value of x_rowSpacing and x_colSpacing like the virtuso does during instance an array of cells?

    2. what's the meaning of "t_name"?
