Mapping for DPAR_ param name

I don't see why you would be getting these names - what exactly are you doing? Please give precise details (ideally with the code) so that we can have some chance of understanding what you're doing.

Knowing why you're doing it is important too, because maybe there's a better way of achieving what your end goal is?

My whole implementation is working , if i get this mapping function . I tried to map this with  hard code and the flow works very well . 

It will be really great to know if there is a mapping function , or we can some how get the original parameter , instead of  DPAR_

I still have no idea why you are doing this. Which IC subversion are you using? If using IC6.1.8 ISR3 or later (6.1.8.500.3) then if using the parameters section in ADE Explorer/Assembler, and you sweep or override a parameter which controls a schematic pcell (such as the number of stacked devices), then it will re-netlist that variant subckt anyway, so I don't see why you need to be messing with custom netlist procedures (and I'm not sure why that would help anyway). So your explanation above doesn't really explain what you're doing on why you're doing it...

A netlist procedure should not be calling asiGetDesignVarList or asiGetCurrentSession - I think this is very likely to fail in particular situations, so I am just trying to make sure you don't dig yourself into a bigger problem by pursuing this route, especially when it sounds as if what you want is available already...

Based on parameters from maestro i have to create a cell with a pcell instantiated . Pcell parameter depends on the parameter set getting from maestro .  So for each parameter set , i need to create a new cell . Please let me know any other better way to do this .

procedure(myNetlistProc(inst )
let((formatter
(fp nlGetNetlister(inst))
(sp "")
pcellMaster
pType
pValue
 width spacing 

cdfGetInstCDF(inst~>id)~>parameters  ; returns original parameter value set on the shematic

even 

inst~>parameterList ; returns orginal parameter 

None of these object returns maestro parametric set 

So only thing i found is 

asiGetDesignVarList(asiGetCurrentSession()) 

to get parameter set from maestro , which is only returning DPAR_ varaibles 

For normal application its ok to have DPAR_ varaibles , as only varaiable value is only chnaged and netlist topology remains same . I need to change the netlist topology based on parametric set . 

This makes no sense. A netlist procedure should absolutely not be editing any database and altering what is netlisted that way - that's lifting the lid on a can of worms in my opinion. It's certainly an abuse of how the tool is supposed to be used and how it works.

The point of the parametrisation capability in ADE is that you can modify the parameters on an instance without editing the schematic. So you'd have a schematic with an instance of your cell (which has a schematic view which is a pcell, and so has parameterised topology). You then sweep whatever parameter on that instance which controls the topology, and everything is done for you.

So I cannot see any reason why your netlisting procedure should be creating instances - it makes no sense at all.

Thanks .

Please note that i need to push envelop here (you can call it as tool abuse , if not please tell me a better way to do it) . I am NOT creating a schematic cell , but a layout cell , which will be further used to create s param file .

The only missing part is this mapping between DPAR and original parameter ... otherwise my implementation works like expected .

I just found that i can use , for example 

nlGetParamStringValue( inst 'spacing)

to get the corresponding DPAR_ variable for spacing (in this case ) 

which can be used together with 

asiGetDesignVarList(asiGetCurrentSession())

to get mapping and hopefully my issue is solved . 

Thanks anyways
