calcVal from CIW returns nil

Karam Gh
Karam Gh 2 hours ago

Hi all,

I normally run calcVal after selecting "View Results" for a history item in maestro. This works wonderfully.

I would like to move to executing calcVal from CIW without opening the maestro view. I use the following:

calcVal(outputName testName
?lib libName ?cell cellName ?view viewName
?cornerName cornerName ?historyName historyName)

In this case calcVal returns nil. Any suggestions to help evaluate my output without having to manually "View Results" prior to each calcVal?

Guidance is appreciated.
