Question on using DC command "foreach"

[aaronhe]

I've written a module "transquantop" which includes four sub_modules,"trans_sram,trans4x4,quanti and transctl". All these four submodules are synthesised and get the "*.db" files.

Then I written a top script as follow:
*************
set sub_modules {trans_sram quanti trans4x4 transctl}
foreach module $submodules{set syn_db $module.db read_db syn_db}
*************

The displayed error is:
Error:wrong #args:shoule be "foreach varlist ?varlist..? command"

Can anyone helpme debug my script. thanks in advance.

Hi
there are several problems with your 'code'
Here is the corrected one

set sub_modules {trans_sram quanti trans4x4 transctl} 
foreach module $sub_modules {set syn_db $module.db}

These were your porblems:
1. you haven't given a space between $sumbodules and {
2. you have used $submodules instead of $sub_modules
3. syn_db I gues cannot have multiple options. you can only one as I have given in the example above

The working code after debug is
foreach module $sub_modules { set syn_db $module.db
read_db $syn_db}

I found that the expression must be written in two lines, when I written it in one line, DC reports error.
