OCEAN script Problem

stevenLiu over 16 years ago

Hi all,

When I was using "load" command to run OCEAN script for simulating an LNA netlist, the following error came out:

*Error* ilGetString: arg must be symbol or string - nil

I am a starter and hope any one give a help.

Hi,
Really cool thanks. The code used to be loaded well in another server and it is a simulation script for an LNA circuit. Right now I just paste the code and hopefully you are interested.
I provide the problematic sample.ocn code in two parts: Run-through part and error-warning part.
The code can be successfully loaded the first half:
simulator( 'spectre )
design( "./netlist")
resultsDir( "./schematic" )
modelFile( "./mitllfdsoi0p18um/MP6_2p2/models/spectre/nom/mitllfdsoi0p18um.scs")

But when the second half below is loaded, the error came out". The second half is:
