Adding gds number to LSW display

Is there a way to add layer gds stream numbers (extracted from the techfile with the lpp) to the LSW display?

I am using v5.1.41

    You could use the "Abbreviation" column in the techPurposes and techLayers sections of the technology file. These are generally used to make a shorter name for displaying in the LSW, but you could add the number without affecting the real name. For example, the purpose drawing has an abbreviation of drw. You could have a datatype number like drw--0 and a layer number like metal1--15. You'll need to widen your LSW so you can see the full name.

    .cdsenv variable:
    layout  lswLPIconPurposeLength  int     3
