Once more question about StreamOut

Hi all!

I know, there were already a lot of questions and answer about srtmout command.

But could you pls. explain this question again, how we can start export GDS file under skill?

When I try to do it manually under unix - all works fine, for example:

strmout -logFile "acg_layPcellTest.err" -view "layout" -topCell "acg_layPcellTest" -techLib "SG13_dev" -strmFile "acg_layPcellTest.gds" -library "acg_test" -runDir "./gds"

And if I write in my code follwoing:

sprintf(args "-library \"%s\" -strmFile \"%s\" -techLib \"%s\" -topCell \"%s\" -view \"%s\" -logFile \"%s\" -runDir \"./gds\" -hierDepth \"32767\"" lib strcat(cell ".gds") tf->libName cell view strcat(cell ".err")); 

ipcBeginProcess(sprintf(nil "strmout %s" args)

All also works fine, gds will be created but in CIW I sow, taht procedure return nil.

But if I try, to create mane code as was show on this forum:

streamOutKeys = ncons(nil); 

streamOutKeys->library = lib;
streamOutKeys->strmFile = strcat(cell ".gds");
streamOutKeys->techLib = tf->libName;
streamOutKeys->topCell = cell;
streamOutKeys->view = view;
streamOutKeys->logFile = strcat(cell ".err");

templateFile = makeTempFileName("./streamOutKeys");
prt = outfile(templateFile);
fprintf(prt "streamOutKeys='");
pprint(streamOutKeys prt);
newline(prt);
close(prt);

sprintf(nil "strmout %s" templateFile)

I have following error:

ERROR (XSTRM-102): The './streamOutg4021' option specified is invalid. View the available options using the "-help" command and then specify the valid option.
INFO (XSTRM-273): Translation failed. '1' error(s) and '0' warning(s) found.

    But what we need to use instead streamOutKeys?
    Only "inline" arguments?
    I take a new documentation for 6.1.7 and there are still used streamOutKeys:
    streamOutKeys=list(nil
    'hierDepth "32767" ;- (0-32767) - Hierarchy Depth Limit
    'strmTextNS "cdba" ;- Text NameSpace
    'viaCutArefThreshold "0" ;- Write a STRUCT if the number

    page 164.

    Sorry for the my understanding.
