How to change Dimensions of cells using SKILL

In 45nm technology , the default dimensions are in microns whereas in 28 nm the unit u has to be mentioned ( default is metre (!)) . While writing a skill script to port schematics from 45 to 28 , how should I take care of the dimension conversion automatically?

Multiply the dimensions by 1e-6?

I use the following to change the dimensions ( to accomodate for the default micrometre) but no change is seen.
oldW=dbGetq(inst w)
if( rexMatchp("[nu]"||"e-6" oldW)
then
dbSetq(newInst oldW w)
else
dbSetq(newInst strcat(oldW "u") w)
)

Probably the parameter is either not called "w" - maybe that is not the displayed parameter on the form? Hard to tell without seeing the data.
