AMS UNL Netlister fails due to bad line breaks in attributes

hiddenriver

I am using Virtuoso 18.10 (or 20.10) to run an AMS simulation.  When I netlist and run from ADE, I get these errors:

Running netlist assembly..
.
xmvlog: *E,EEXDLM (.../ams/config/netlist/digital/netlist.vams,13|14): Expecting delimiter (',' or '*)') [2.8(IEEE)].
xmvlog: *E,BADSTR (.../ams/config/netlist/digital/netlist.vams,13|72): unterminated string [2.6(IEEE)].

Further inspection of netlist.vams shows bad line breaks occurring mid quoted string in Verilog attributes:

(* cds_ams_schematic *)
(* dfII_lib="redacted_lib", dfII_cell="redacted_with_bad_linebreak
bad_linebreak_continues", dfII_view="schematic", worklib_name="redacted_lib_with_bad_linebreak
bad_linebreak_continues", view_name="schematic", last_save_time="Jan 25 01:
02:37 2021" *)

This problem does not exist in Virtuoso 12.30 where one can select OSS Netlister, but 18.10 and higher do not allow selection of OSS.  It seems AMS it not usable in Virtuoso 18.10 or 20.10.  Is there a workaround?

Thank you,

Andrew
