ERROR(ORPSIM-16377): Quoted strings must fit on one line

SolarStudent

  Hi Forum,

I'm working on a project to model a PV module in Capture/Spice.  Basically I'm using ABM's to calculate the various outputs from the module.

 When I run a dc-sweep simulation I get the following error

ERROR(ORPSIM-16377): Quoted strings must fit on one line

I think the error is coming from the forumla for Girrad, Gidiode and Evoc.

Can you tell me what the error means?  I've found another post that suggests the strings can only be 160 characters long, however both Girrad and Evoc are under 160.  I've also made another simiplier circuit where the strings were over 160 characters and it runs without this error.

I've copied the simulation output file below.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

 Matt

    No the error is flagged where the $ signs are:

    You include path is too long, SPICE, and therefore PSpice, has a line limit, move the include file to a location local to your project and use the same format as the path to your other include file - that was not flagged as an error.

  • Alok Tripathi
    Move your testcase to folder which has less depth in comparison to your existing location. PSpice has limits of 132 characters and it’s netlister automatically wraps the expression to next line automatically. However same cannot be done for PATH.

    I suspect this include file path is auto generated by tool and hence suggesting you to move your testcase to different location and try. In case you have included this path via sim setup please include that same from different location as suggested by “Oldmouldy”

    Hi Oldmouldy and Alokt,

    I've made the file path more compact, rather than change the location (I figured the result would be the same).  This has fixed the problem.

    Thanks for your help
