Ocean script error - run() too few arguments

OceanDesign
OceanDesign over 13 years ago

Hello,

 

I have a strange problem related to Ocean Scripts.

When I run my simulation in Virtuoso Analog Design Environment, it works perfectly. But when I use "Session -> Save Script" and create the Ocean script file "oceanScript.ocn" and try to call it in ICFB using

load "oceanScript.ocn"  

I get one Warning and one Error.

1) *Warning* hiInsertMenuItem: All menu item must be unique. No item added.

I verified that this was related to the first line of the script file, where I have:

 ocnWaveformTool( 'wavescan )

2)  *Error* run: too few arguments (1 expected, 0 given) - nil

 I verified that this was realted to these two lines

analysis( 'dc ?saveOppoint t )

run()

 Could someone please help me figure out what is going on? The script is generated by Viruoso ADE and I haven't even touched it. But I keep getting these errors.

Thank you.

    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?
