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,

      let me put my requirement properly,

    1.Create a pcell based on type given in rule file(this is done) at location "lib1" "pcell" "layout"

    2.Now i have created cellviews with names as rule no.s,inside each of this cellviews i want to instantiate instances of the already created pcell.

    ie.if my rule file matches "width" then i want to take instance from my created pcell at "lib1" "pcell" "layout".My rule file looks like

       ;RULE NO.  LAYER      TYPE       VALUE
    R1A                POLY     WIDTH     0.5
    R1B                POLY      SPACE   0.25
    R2A               ACTIVE    WIDTH     0.7
    R2B               ACTIVE    SPACE    0.3

     I have coded to make it into tabular form.Now i want the new cellview say named "R1A" contain instance from my pcell with parameters taken from rule file.

    The code is like,

          procedure(instPcell(ruleFile libName @rest pcellInfo)
      let( (ruleTable  mastercv cv)
        ruleTable = parseFile(ruleFile)
        mastercv  = dbOpenCellViewByType(nthelem(1 pcellInfo) nthelem(2  pcellInfo)
                       nthelem(3 pcellInfo) "" "r")
        foreach(i ruleTable~>?
         cv   = dbOpenCellViewByType(libName i "layout" "maskLayout" "w")
          cond(
             (rexMatchp("[wW][iI][dD][tT][hH]" nth(1 ruleTable[i]))       
                dbCreateParamInst(
           cv mastercv i list(0 0) "R0" 1
                   list(
                      list( "w1"      "float"  nth(2 ruleTable[i]))
                      list( "layer1"  "string" nth(0 ruleTable[i]))
                      list( "type"    "string" nth(1 ruleTable[i]))
                  ))
       )
      (rexMatchp("[sS][pP][aA][cC][eE]" nth(1 ruleTable[i]))  
         dbCreateParamInst(
           cv mastercv i list(0 0) "R0" 2
         list( list(  "w1"     "float"                       ?  )  (here i want to give poly width as given in rule table)
               list( "space"   "string"     nth(2 ruleTable[i]))
               list( "layer2"  "string"      nth(0 ruleTable[i]))
               list( "type"    "string"      nth(1 ruleTable[i]))
        ));dbCreateParamIns
        )
      (t (println "Arg is an unknown type"))
       );cond
     dbSave(cv)
     dbClose(cv)
          );foreach
       dbClose(mastercv)
      );let
    );procedure

    My error that i want to clear is shown in bold letters..How can give that value??
