How to embed alphanumeric layer names in OASIS files?

Some say these fantsy pantsy OASIS files support alphanumeric layer names, like "RX" or "POLY", in addition to the usual layer and data type numbers. (I also see that the OASIS standard supports something called a "LAYERNAME" record...,)

So has anyone ever successfully embedded alphanumeric layer names into an OASIS file using Virtuoso XOasis Out?

It sounds like a useful feature, to have the Virtuoso layer/purpose names saved in the file, but I could not figure out how to get them in there! Nothing in the GUI (especially the "Layers" tab) seems to support this functionality. Maybe it's not yet implemented?

Tom,

Currently no. There's a CCR (filed by R&D on behalf of the company you work for) which asks for this to be supported - 1884261. Since the format only has LAYERNAME and not something like "PURPOSENAME" the idea is that this would need to be mapped via the mapping file at translation time.

Regards,

Andrew.
