Use Tcl command to "Generate BOM" with ASC

Question

Recently I try to use invokeBomHDL command to generate BOM but it just show the dialog box and not generate the BOM. 
 If I manually use: Tools -> Generate BOM -> Generate, it works well. 
 
 I have used similar way to generate BOM in the OrCAD (e.g. Menu "Tools::Bill of Materials" | DialogBox "OK" "~/Bill_of_Materials.xml") before and it worked well. 
 I wonder that if there is any way to generate BOM with tcl in ASC?

Gelzone Please use updated code, for reportFormat variable we have to select option from a list [ TEXT HTML SS ], I used csv which is not a correct args. Now I have passed the correct args. # bomhdl.exe -proj [-nographic] [-t ] [-f HTML | SS|TEXT] [-delim ] [-o ] [-a YES | NO] [-var [variant1 variant2...] [COMPARE] [ALL]] #Command to generate Bom with inputs. # Sample script to genarte bom set projectpath [ file dirname [pwd]] # set projectcpm [ cps::getProjectCPM ] set projectcpm [ cps::getProjectMainCPM ] set projectDir [ cps::getProjectMainDir ] # set project [file join $projectpath $projectcpm] # set projectName [string range $projectcpm 0 [expr [string last "." $projectcpm] - 1]] set projectName [ sch::dbGetRootDesignName ] # puts "projectpath: = [join "$projectpath" "ouput" "$projectName" "/"] " # puts "projectcpm: =$projectcpm" # puts "projectName: =$project" # puts "projectName: =$projectName" set template "C:/Cadence/SPB_24.1/share/cdssetup/template.bom" set delimeter {,} set reportFormat "SS" ;#report value [TEXT][HTML][SS] set variantFile "variant.dat" set varinatCompare {} set varaintName {} # puts $projectDir if {$reportFormat eq "HTML"} { set outfile "[file join $projectDir "output" $projectName]/bom/BOM.html" } else {set outfile "$projectDir/output/$projectName/bom/BOM.csv"} if {$varaintName != "NULL" || $varaintName != "" } { exec bomhdl.exe -proj $projectcpm -nographic -t $template -f $reportFormat -delim $delimeter -o $outfile -a NO -var $variantFile $varaintName } if {$varaintName == "NULL" || $varaintName == ""} { exec bomhdl.exe -proj $projectcpm -nographic -t $template -f $reportFormat -delim $delimeter -o $outfile -a NO }
