How to Check & Save a symbol

Gopika

 Is there any function availalbe to Check & Save a Symbol without opening it.

  • Hi Gopika,

    I think you could use 'schVIC'.  Try something like that:

    cid = dbOpenCellViewByType(libName cellName "symbol" nil "a")

    schVIC(cid)

    dbSave(cid)

    dbClose(cid)

    Regards, Danilo

  • Thanks Danilo for your quick reply.

    Could you help me in following:

    Is the following 3 statements give similar result:

    1. dbCheck(cid) & dbSave(cid)

    2.schVIC(cid) & dbSave(cid)

    3. schHiVICAndSave()  

    Note: in 3rd statement we can't give cid but it takes the current window id.

    Regards

    Gopika

     

  • Hi Gopika,

    The first is checking the integrity of the database (rarely needed unless you are seeing strange behaviour) and not doing a cross-view check.

    The second and third are equivalent, with the second being for batch operation (doesn't necessarily need a window), whereas the third is an interactive command which works on the current window.

    The cross-view check is not strictly required on a symbol, but it does tend to spot potential errors sooner rather than later.

    Regards,

  •  Thanks Andrew for your detailed explanation.
