Ocean script error - run() too few arguments

My guess is that in both cases some local customization is messing things up - there's probably a trigger somewhere which is trying to add a menu (I'm not sure), and I suspect somebody has written their own SKILL function which is also called run().

Try using "icfb -nocdsinit" to launch and see if that helps; this would avoid loading any customization and so should hopefully avoid the problem (if it's what I'm guessing it is).

You could also try arglist('run) or pp(run) to see what the definition is (this may not work) - you'd have to do that in a normal "icfb" session to ensure any custom code is loaded.

Thanks Andrew for your reply. 

For arglist('run) I get:

(commands)

Version : IC5141 (IC5.1.41 USR5), LINUX

and for pp(run) I get:

pp: run is a read protected function and cannot be pretty printed

nil

For icfb -nocdsinit I get

command not found

and then starts exactly as if I have not used the option. I keep getting the same error messages.

Any idea how I can resolve this?

The arglist should return

(@rest args)

I checked in IC5141 USR5, so clearly you must have some customization. Presumably the customization is encrypted or in a context file, which is why you can't pp() the function.

If "icfb -nocdsinit" does not work, my guess is that  you have a wrapper around icfb which doesn't allow you to pass arguments. If you type in the UNIX shell "which icfb" is it coming from <ICinstDir>/tools/dfII/bin ?

Thanks Andrew.

When I type which icfb I get

icfb: aliased to icfb_sub

And when I type which icfb_sub I see a directory different than the one you mentioned.

Is there still a way to get the Ocean Script working properly under these circumstances? 

Presumably - but hard for me to advise since I can't see what the "icfb_sub" script does. Maybe if you have a look in the script you can see who wrote it and contact them? From the name, my guess is that it submits it to your compute farm?

Perhaps you can post the contents of icfb_sub here?

Andrew.

Thanks Andrew.

I showed your comments to our support team and they suggested this:

 icfb_sub -sim -v 51.usr6 icfb -nocdsinit

It now works perfectly.

I was scratching my head for a while on what was wrong with my Ocean codes. But now the mystery is resolved!

Again, thanks a lot!

That's good! You may also want to suggest to your support team that they don't define a SKILL function called run(). We recommend that SKILL functions use an uppercase prefix, as that way it won't clash with a function from Cadence.

Andrew.
