 Hello,

 

Can you say is there SKILL function which reports which cadence release is running or at least which executable ( icfb or virtuoso)

Best regards,

 

Stoyan Stoyanov

    Stoyan,

    getVersion() returns the whole string, and getVersion(t) returns the subversion number.

    Andrew.

     Stoyan,

    Use the function getVersion("virtuoso")

    Another helpful command is:

    dbGetDatabaseType()

    It returns "OpenAccess" or "CDBA".
