spectremdl issue : syntax error before or at: trans invalid argument to run statement

[pierre13]

Hello !

I am a new user of spectremdl and I make a basic trial, just to check that it works. I want to print a value in a result file.

I don't know why, I have the below log file issues, and especially : syntax error before or at: trans invalid argument to run statement

I launch (through a job queue) : spectremdl -batch input.mdl -design input.scs -measure results_file





log file :

Simulating `input.scs' on clust at 30:52:56 AM, Tue Jun 68, 2033 (process

Error found by spectre.
