Specman syntax errors

Hi Stephen Thanks for the previous help. I tried it and it worked with the latest versions of Specman as well. I have a new problem. I am trying to run DV using specman but I get a lot of syntax errors when I load the e-code in the specman environment. I used all the following Specman versions v4.3.1, v5.03, v5.1, v08.10.001, v08.20.002 and I tried running on both LINUX and SOLARIS as well. All of them gave the syntax errors The syntax errors are due to the following coding style: operate: ... ... end; All the action block statements have the similar syntax of ": ... end;" instead of "{...};" Can you identify the syntax used? Which version of Specman will it work with?
