Title: Problem in wavescan
Post by Rooney on Jan 7^th, 2009, 3:07am

Hi,

while opening the wavescan, I am getting the following errors:

Error eval: undefined function - ddsProgramName
Error load: error while loading file - "..../.cdslocal"

Can any one please tell what does this error mean and how to resolve it?

Don't know whether this can be the issue for wrong waveform dumping.

I found some old solution which indicated that this error came about when using DesignSync - it calls this function to determine the executable. However, the "awd" executable (which is used for "ocean" and "wavescan" too) does not define this function.

A workaround is to add this to the beginning of your .cdsinit file (needs to be before any DesignSync code is loaded):

Code:

unless(isCallable('ddsProgramName)
procedure( ddsProgramName()
nth(0 parseString(nth(1 parseString(getVersion() " ")) "."))
);procedure
)

You may possibly need it in an .oceanrc file as well, dependent on whether the code which is calling ddsProgramName() is loaded when running "ocean".

Best Regards,

Andrew.
