issue in altering the 'numInst' value for a iterated instance

Hi,

I am trying to alter the parameter 'numInst' for an iterated instance.i.e.,I am trying re-assign the numInst paramter.But I can see that the value is not getting updated.

The assignment was working fine in 5.1 version but it is not working in OA version 6.1.5.

eg:

cv=geGetEditCellView()

instId=dbOpenCellViewByType(<libName> <cellName> "symbol" "" "r")

cellId = dbCreateInst(cv instId "test" <coord> "R0" 5)

The above will return me an iterated instance 'test<4:0>' at the location defined by <coord>.

Now if i have to alter the number of instances to 2 later in the code, in older version 5.1, I could do something like cellId~>numInst=2 which will return me an instance 'test<1:0>'.But the same is not working in 6.1.5.

After doing some research i found the command 'dbSetAnyInstNumInst' in 'Integrator’s Toolkit: Database Reference Manual,Product Version 5.0'.

Is there any equivalent command for 'dbSetAnyInstNumInst' in 6.1 or is there some other way in which we can change the numInst value.

Thanks in advance,

Chikva
