Error encountered during pcell instantiation??

Messi
 Hai,

     

    This is the code i have written to read a file and then instantiate a pcell inside an already created pcell:

procedure(mypcell(ruleFile pcellInfo)

  let( (ruleFileTable purposeList mastercv inst )

  ruleFileTable  =  readFile( ruleFile )

;readFile is the function name for another procedure I created to read an file and drop its contents into a table

           foreach(line FileTable

           purposeList = caddr(line)

    ;the table has mainly four elements and I want the third element based on which instantiation has to be carried out

          unless(rexMatchp(pcellinfo purposeList)

           case(pcellinfo

             ("a"

         ;;To Create PCell for “a”

                    mastercv   = dbOpenCellViewByType("test" "pcell" "layout" "" "w")

                  ;mastercv is an already created pcell

                    inst           = dbCreateParamInst(

                                         "pcell" mastercv "a" list(0 0) "R0" 1

                                           list(

                                               list( "w"  "float" 0.5)

                                                )

                                                );dbCreateParamInst

                                         dbClose(mastercv)

                                      ); for case “a”

           ("b"

;;To Create PCell for "b"                   

                     mastercv   = dbOpenCellViewByType("test" "pcell" "layout" "" "w")

                     inst           =  dbCreateParamInst(

                                        "pcell" mastercv "b" list(0 0) "R0" 2

                                           list(

                                                list( "w"  "float" 0.5)

                                                list( "s"  "float" 0.25)

                                                )

                                            );dbCreateParamInst

                                          dbClose(mastercv)

                                          );case

                                   );for case  "b"               

                           );unless

        );foreach

    );let

);procedure

But i am generating errors while i run this code :

Can anyone look into and this find the error in it.....

Thanks,

  • Hai,

      Thanks for the explanation.Explaantion was superb...i didnt know abt ~>? operator until u helped me out...Thanks 4 that....

    I am reading a rule file then make it into a table and based on the entry in table i create or instantiate a pcell inside another.ie..if the purpose in table i made is WIDTH it should be able to make a pcell for width case...similarly for others,for this i have written the code.

     

      procedure(instPcell(ruleFile libName @rest Info)
      let( (ruleTable  mastercv cvd)
         ruleTable = parseFile(ruleFile)
         mastercv  = dbOpenCellViewByType(nthelem(1 Info) nthelem(2  lnfo)
                       nthelem(3 lnfo))
         foreach(i ruleTable~>?
            cvd = dbOpenCellViewByType(libName ruleTable[i] "layout" "maskLayout" "w")
             cond(
                rexMatchp("WIDTH" nth(1 ruleTable[i]))        
                dbCreateParamInst( 
                        cvd mastercv ruleTable[i] list(0 0) "R0" 1
                 list(
                                  list( "width"  "float" 0.5)
                      )
                                  );dbCreateParamInst
                    rexMatchp("SPACING" nth(1 ruleTable[i]))  
           dbCreateParamInst( 
                           cvd mastercv ruleTable[i] list(0 0) "R0" 2
                                list(
                                       list( "width"  "float" 0.5)
                                       list( "space"  "float" 0.25)
                                  )
                                );dbCreateParamInst
                        dbSave(cvd)
            (t println "Arg is an unknown type")
     )
      dbClose(cvd)
      dbClose(mastercv)
        );foreach
      );let
    );procedure

     

    when i run this program as a whole the rexMatchp error is encountered...ie it says unbound variable rexMatchp..

    How to eliminate this error..Any changes i need make in code..pls tell..

    Regards,

     Messi
