copy hierarchical layer to top level

Hi Sir:

    I need to copy one particular layer in instance to top level. For example, the "PAD" layer was drawn in the IO cells and instanced on the top level. I need to duplicate this "PAD" layer on the top level. Can any one help for the Cadence Skill code to do that?

    Dear Andrew:

           Thanks for your reply. In fact, I am using ICFB 5.10.41_USR5.90.69 and I can not find "getOpenCellView" can I use "geGetWindowCellView" in stead for CCSflattenAndMerge? In fact, after I change it as follows, it runs well but I did not find the PAD layer move to top level. Did I do something wrong? I am sorry, I am new for the skill code, I may ask something silly. Thanks

    src=geGetWindowCellView()

    dst=dbOpenCellViewByType(src~>libName src~>cellName "flattened" "maskLayout" "w")

    CCSflattenAndMerge(src dst '("PAD" "drawing"))

    Regards,

    Sonny
