pcell eval fails on export cdl

Schematic pcell that appears to work fine in virtuoso experiences pcell evaluation failure when attempting to export a cdl.

*WARNING* (DB-270001): Pcell evaluation for UC16_DEV/switchR90_stackrows/schematic has the following error(s):
*WARNING* (DB-270002): ("eval" 0 t nil ("*Error* eval: undefined function" geGetEditCellView))
ERROR (OSSHNL-408): Failed to generate the netlist because of a PCell evaluation error on cellview
'UC16_DEV/switchR90_stackrows/schematic'. Set simStopNetlistOnPCellFailure to "ignore" to prevent this
error.

To debug I modified the code to run outside the pcell and generate the schematic view. Load the function and upon execution I see similar error. The code partially builds the schematic before generating the below error message.

*Error* arrayref: can't handle db:0x26ac7d1c[0]
<<< Stack Trace >>>
netG[i]
dbCreateConnByName(netG[i] inst "G")
for(i 0 (length(addM2Stack) - 1) (addM2Column = nth(i addM2Stack)) (pctBussColumn = nth(i pctBussStack)) ... )
let((cvId addM2Stack pctBussStack addM2Column pctBussColumn ... ) (cvId = geGetEditCellView()) (addM2Stack = reverse(parseString(addM2 ","))) (pctBussStack = reverse(parseString(pctBuss ","))) (netS = dbMakeNet(cvId "S")) ... )
switchR90_stackrowsSchPC()

I can delete all from the schematic and run again and there are no errors on the second invocation of the function.

The netG is defined as follows.
    netG    = makeTable("netG"    nil)

then inside a for loop with "i" as the value for the iteration.

  dbCreateConnByName(netG[i] gateResInst "MINUS")

      netG[i]    = dbMakeNet(cvId sprintf(nil "G<%d>"    i))

      dbCreateTerm(netG[i]    netG[i]->name    "inputOutput")

      dbCreateConnByName(netG[i]    inst "G")

        dbCreateConnByName(netG[i]    gateResInst "MINUS")

Obviously there is more code around these commands but it's to much I think to add here.

I'm not sure what is going wrong, why it works fine in a pcell, breaks on only first try and a schematic, and never works for cdl export. I don't think there anything wrong with the way I setting up the net and connections but hopefully I doing something completely wrong that is easily caught by someone here.

The could be something wrong in other parts of the code that I've not posted here. Not sure what that would be; it's very basic just instantiating a array of switches and resistors and doing the connections.

Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
