Arpad-Whether their model works in QCD or not, it should accept the double quotes. That much is clear from the existing text. The only question on the table was whether the double quotes could be removed.

Thanks for your reply. Needless to say, I asked this question because I am working with a customer's AMI DLL, and it doesn't like the double quotes around a string parameter we are passing into it. They claimed that it worked in your tool, and I wanted be sure that we interpreted the spec as it was intended... Your reply answered both of my questions.

I will admit that SiSoft's implementation is more permissive than that.In retrospect, perhaps we should have said String literal values can be delimited using double quotes ("), and mustbe delimited in that way if the string contains white space. No double quotes are allowed inside a string literal.Should'a would'a could'a. Mike S.

On pg. 187 the spec says:Does this mean that when we have a string type parameter,they MUST be surrounded by double quotes when passed into the DLL?For example, if I said this in the .ami file: (Ignore_Bits (Usage Info) (Type String) (Default Three) would I have to send (Ignore_Bits "Three") to the DLL have? A related question, what should be in the .ami file, the line as shownabove, or should that line also have a double quote around "Three"?Thanks, Arpad======================================================================== ==== --------------------------------------------------------------------- IBIS Macro website : http://www.eda.org/pub/ibis/macromodel_wip/ IBIS Macro reflector: //www.freelists.org/list/ibis-macro To unsubscribe send an email: To: ibis-macro-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: unsubscribe
