OCEAN script Problem

stevenLiu

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,

    I further tried another ocn file written with cadence analog env and it can be loaded well:

     ocnWaveformTool( 'wavescan )
    simulator( 'spectre )
    design(  "/nfs/users.labnet.st5/mnt/zl3140/simulation/lnaSimple/spectre/schematic/netlist/netlist")
    resultsDir( "/nfs/users.labnet.st5/mnt/zl3140/simulation/lnaSimple/spectre/schematic" )
    modelFile(
        '("/nfs/users.labnet.st5/mnt/zl3140/NEOCELLRUN/NeoCell/models/spectre/rfModels.scs" "")
    )
    analysis('ac ?start "1 "  ?stop "20 "  )
    desVar(   "prf" -10     )
    save( 'v "/net28" )
    temp( 27 )
    run()

    By the way, the sample ocn codes in artist/spectre/*.ocn also bring error messages of "string/symbol" or similar stuff which are not supposed to appear.

     Right now I am comparing the good ocn above and previous error ocn to find some hints.
