hiSaveAsViewFile() trouble in Virtuoso v6

jaleco

 I have a script (www.cadence.com/.../1317148.aspx that will save the design tree file to a shell to run a shell script on, working in Virtuoso v5, but is breaking in Virtuoso v6 on the command hiSaveAsViewFile.

The Save File As form looks quite different in v6, but I cannot figure out Cadence's documentation to search for (anything..) something like this.

In v5 I use:

hiSaveAsViewfile->file->value-> = Newfilename

hiFormDone(hiSaveAsViewfileForm)

However, in v6,  I get the error message " eval: unbound variable - hiSaveAsViewfile".

Since testing with print statements is able to show me that the variable Newfilename is properly defined, and the command hiSaveAsViewfile() works in v6, I can only guess that the form itself is different in v6, and the format hiSaveAsViewfile->file->value is not the same.

2 Questions -

1. how can I test for the version of Virtuoso as an environment variable so I can handle this save function accordingly?

2. what is the v6 format for hiSaveAsViewfile->file->value??

many thanks in advance!

  •  What error do you get in your CIW, and what exactly did you try for your Skill code? The command is just: dbGetDatabaseType()

    Don't add the "->" stuff, I was just trying to show you the output of the command. If you are running a really old version of Cadence 5, the command might not be available, in which case you might need to do something like this:

     procedure(myCheckIsOA()
        if(getd('dbGetDatabaseType) && dbGetDatabaseType() == "OpenAccess"
            t
            nil
        )
    ) ;proc
