getting error when using env variable in xstremout

Your post is extremely confused because it's talking about object map and layer maps - the error is related to object maps, yet you mention layermapfile=... (there is no setting called "layermapfile" for strmout - it's layerMap. And anyway the message talks about object maps!

I have tested strmout from both the user interface and the command line with a templateFile - and both support environment variables. I found an old issue where it didn't work before but that was fixed some time ago, in IC617 ISR16.

Since you didn't mention the version you're using, didn't say how you're invoking the stream out interface (from the form or from the command line), how you are passing these paths with environment variables to the stream out process (template file or command line or UI field), and also were rather vague about whether this was an object map or layer map, it's rather hard to help. Clear questions tend to lead to clear answers.

sorry andrew, for confusion, let me be stright and explain in simple way-

i have csv file in which is have defined

test_file = $CADENCE_HOME/testfile.txt
also $CADENCE_HOME is env var

if i do get getShellEnvVar("CADENCE_HOME") Iin CIW i will get absolute path i.e /abc/xyz

now i have another skill file in which i am reading the csv file and the test_file path

but when am giviing test_file = $CADENCE_HOME/testfile.txt in csv its not working
but when am defined test_file = /abc/xyz/testfile.txt in csv its working fine.

am thinking to use eval function 

can you please guide whats wrong and how to correct.

beow is some part of code-

procedure( extractCSV(csvfilename)
CSVport = infile( csvfilename )
indexcount=0
indexstring = sprintf(nil "%L" indexcount)
cvoptions = list(nil)
cvoptions1 = list(nil)
layerMapFile=nil
objectMapFile=nil
techLib=nil
incFile=nil
process=nil
ams_path=nil
lsfQueue=nil

while( gets(myline CSVport)
;new cell view
;printf("--%L\n" myline)

mylist1 = parseString( myline "=")
varName = nth(0 mylist1)
filePath = nth(1 mylist1)
when( length(mylist1) == 2 && !rexMatchp( "#" car(mylist1)) && !rexMatchp( "//" car(mylist1))
&& varName == "test_file"
rexCompile("\"")
filePath = rexReplace(filePath "" 0)
inFileContent=infile(filePath)
printf("****************************\n")
printf("Reading included file: %s" filePath)

OK, so now you're asking a completely different question which is nothing to do with stream out. No wonder it's confusing.

For your latest question, simply change:

CSVport = infile( csvfilename )

to

CSVport = infile( simplifyFilename(csvfilename) )

simplifyFilename will do the environment variable expansion.

Thanks a lot Andrew!!!!!!
