creating list of celviews

Hi,

   I am trying to create multiple new layouts from a list unix file in to one library. In each cell Iam also trying to create a PR boundary with the coordinates that are present in the unix file.

 

The list file contains the cell name and PR boundary coordinates as shown below. 

cell_name                       llx    lly    urx       ury

BUF                                0     0     4.448    4.424

AND                                0     0     4.448    4.424 

 My code for this is as shown below.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; 

ListPath = "/home/san/tiler/cell_list"

;lib_name="test"

inPort = infile( ListPath )

when( inPort

while( gets( line inPort )

;println( nextLine )

 

lineData = parseString(line " ")

        ;portTable[car(lineData)] = evalstring(cadr(lineData))

;cell_name=car(lineData)

cell_name=nth(0 lineData)

llx=nth(1 lineData)

lly=nth(2 lineData)

urx=nth(3 lineData)

ury=nth(4 lineData)

create_boundary(cell_name llx lly urx ury)

)

close( inPort )

)

procedure(create_boundary(cell_name llx lly urx ury)

let (cv)

cv=dbOpenCellViewByType("test" "cell_name" "layout" "maskLayout" "w")

dbCreateRect(cv list("prBoundary" "drawing") list(llx:lly urx:ury))

dbSave(cv)

);procedure

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
 
For this code, I am getting the following error.
 
*Error* eval: undefined function - create_boundary
*Error* load: error while loading file - "create_cell.il" at line 20 

  Kindly help me to solve this.

Is it because of the "parsing", as i expect \n is coming for the "urx" variable when I try to access it??

 Regards,

santhosh.
