How to access pcell instance co-ordinates from within Pcell code.

Thanks this works great!

On a different note, I am having trouble streaming out a datbase containing an instance of a pcell. I get the following error when I try to stream out. The pcell works great in layout view.

\o *WARNING* Pcell evaluation for NQ78Z/encapRodPcell/layout has the following error(s):
\o *WARNING* ("eval" 0 t nil ("*Error* eval: undefined function" CCScreateBoxAndLabels))
\o *WARNING* Error kept in "errorDesc" property of the label "pcellEvalFailed" on layer/purpose "marker/error" in the submaster.

Here is the pcell code I am working with.....

procedure(CCScreateBoxAndLabels(cv w l "dnn")
  let( (rectRodObj)
  ;; create a rectangle on metal1 with x & y dimensions set by w & l
  rectRodObj = rodCreateRect(
      ?name     "myRect"
      ?cvId     cv
      ?layer    list("PI" "drawing")
      ?width    w
      ?length   l
      ?origin   list(0 0)
  )
  ); let
); procedure CCScreateBoxAndLabels

;; Create the PCell, the "drawing routine" is encapsulated in the
;; CCScreateBoxAndLabels function which does all the work

pcDefinePCell(
  list(ddGetObj("NQ78Z") "encapRodPcell" "layout")
  (
    (w 1.0)
    (l 0.6)
  )
  let( ((cv pcCellView))
    CCScreateBoxAndLabels(cv w l)
  ); let
)

;; Create the CDF for the 'l' and 'w' parameters, the width (w)
;; parameter is either hidden or displayed but not editable.
let( (cellId cdfId)
  when(cellId = ddGetObj("NQ78Z" "encapRodPcell")
    ;; if the cell CDF already exists, delete it
    when( cdfId = cdfGetBaseCellCDF(cellId)
      cdfDeleteCDF(cdfId)
    )
    ;; create the base cell CDF
    cdfId = cdfCreateBaseCellCDF(cellId)
    ;; create the parameters
    cdfCreateParam( cdfId
      ?name     "l"
      ?prompt   "Length"
      ?defValue 0.6
      ?type     "float"
      ?display  "t"
    )
    cdfCreateParam( cdfId
      ?name     "w"
      ?prompt   "Width"
      ?defValue 1.0
      ?type     "float"
      ;; comment out the next line and uncomment the lines below
      ;; it if the parameter is to be visible but not editable
      ?display  "nil"
;      ?display "t"
;      ?editable        "nil"
    )
    cdfSaveCDF(cdfId)
  ); when
); let for CDF creation 

I tried may other simple pcell examples but keep getting the perror at stream out. I am loading the above pcell code when icfb starts up through .cdsinit.
