Adding conditions in param section of dbCreateParamInst!!!

Messi

Hai everyone,

   I am trying to add conditions inside the dbCreateParamInst's param section, Is this possible??

 ie: i have two conditions cond1: MET1 cond2: MET1:pin which are elements in the table i created.

  I am checking the the length of each and if MET1 is the condition then i instantiate a pcell with layer being "MET1" "drawing" if length i find after parsing is 2 i instantiate with layer being "MET1" "pin"(instead of "drawing").Is this feasible??

 the code i created is:

         dbCreateParamInst(
            cvd mastercv "inst1" list(0 0) "R0" 1

                   list( list( "layer1"  "string"   if( length(parseString(car(Table[i])  ":")) = 1 then 
                                                                       list(car(Table[i]) "drawing")
                                                          else
                                                                      list(car(parseString(carTable[i]) ":"))
                                                                           cadr(parseString(car(Table[i]) ":"))))

                             )

When i run this i get the following WARNING:

 *WARNING*(parser): illegal left hand side of assignment operator -  length(parseString(car(Table[i])  ":"))  

Can anyone help?? Or is my concept of getting instants itself is wrong??

Thanks,

Messi

  • Hi Messi,

    As I said in my last reply, you'll either need to define your pcell with an additional parameter for the purpose (probably with default value "drawing"), or you will need to declare the formal parameter layer1 for the pcell as being a list type (in which case you would always have to pass it a list of layer and purpose).

    Alternatively you could pass the layer-purpose pair in the "MET1:pin" form (or whatever it was) and then do the parseString within the pcell itself?
