Deleting Degassing Voids Using Skill - axlShapeEraseDegassingHole

Hi,
I'm trying to delete degas voids that are auto generated by Shape Degassing tool in APD using Skill script, for which i'm using this function axlShapeEraseDegassingHole , the arguments required are shape dbid and location of the holes, 

parentShape = void->parent
eraseResult = axlShapeEraseDegassingHole(parentShape ?location location) 

but the result is always nil. can anyone give an example script to do this operation.

    Are you sure you're following any of these two formats: 

    axlShapeEraseDegassingHole(shape ?location '(-3925.000 -13050.000))

    axlShapeEraseDegassingHole(shape ?window list('(-3800.000 -13150.000) '(-2275.000 -11975.000)))

    Yes, I'm giving the location of the Degassing holes(the degassing holes auto generated using Shape degassing feature in APD), i have tried with a point on the boundary of the degassing hole as well as center, and i'm not sure what does the shape here means, so i'm passing all the dbid's that are available in axlDBGetShapes in a foreach loop with single location to see if the degassing void is deleted, still the result remains same, 

    some times i see t as the output when i run this command, still the degassing hole is not deleted at that particular location.
