Set UNIX environment variable through in Cadence environment through skill

rajs

Cadence version using=IC616.

Hi ,

I have two questions which i have listed below

a)Not able to set PVDIR variable in unix through skill command.

system("setenv PVDIR /home/data/")

error message in unix terminal: sh: setenv: command not found

b)I want to streamout the gds and then execute skill code sequentially, if the error not exist in streamout or else terminate with error message.

   1)How to wait till streamout is done & How to check for error message. There is a user defined function "xstOutOnCompletion()", How to use 

         along with procedure.

envSetVal("xstream" "xstShowCompletionMsgBox" 'boolean nil)

xstSetField("library" libname)
xstSetField("topCell" cellname)
xstSetField("strmFile" strcat(cellname ".gds"))
xstSetField("attachTechFileOfLib" "tsmc90_tech")
xstSetField("view" "layout")
xstSetField("runDir" path)
xstSetField("summaryFile" "strmOut.sum")
xstSetField("virtualMemory" "true")
xstSetField("logFile" "strmOut.log")
xstOutDoTranslate()

 

Thanks,

rajs

    If you're checking in the UNIX terminal that you launched Virtuoso from, then you wouldn't see it - because environment variables are not passed back to the parent. If in virtuoso you did:

    system("xterm &")

    then in the resulting terminal that appears, you should see the value you set using SKILL - because this is then a child of the virtuoso process and inherits its environment

    That's how UNIX environment variables work!
