PCELL Evaluation failed error while using tsmcN28 HPC+ PDK

Hello everyone. I'm trying to debug a  PCELL evaluation error. I had layout database which is designed using tsmcN28HPC PDK, now we want to use the same database using tsmcN28HPC+ PDK (latest updated PDK HPC PLUS) . While I am trying to point the old database to the latest tsmcN28HPC+  design kit i am getting following PCELL evaluation warning. I am able to instantiate the Pcells and modify them in the layout but seeing a Pcell evaluation failed text in the layout. I am using Virtuoso 6.1.7 tool version.

*WARNING* (DB-270001): Pcell evaluation for PCIGEN_INV/rupolym_m/layout has the following error(s):
*WARNING* (DB-270002): ("times" 1 t nil ("*Error* times: can't handle (nil * 1000000)"))
*WARNING* (DB-270003): Error kept in "errorDesc" property of the label "pcellEvalFailed" on layer/purpose "marker/error" in the submaster.

Could some one please help me regarding this.

Thanks,
SANDEEP
