Fangyi:
Are you referring to just the DLL to EDA tool interface?
In Section 10, I find
| 8. Parameter values can be expressed either as a string literal, decimal
| number or in the standard ANCI ?C? notation for floating point numbers
| (e.g., 2.0e-9). String literal values are delimited using a double
| quote (") and no double quotes are allowed inside the string literals.
|
Even though the parameter tree syntax is a string interface, I would
interpret that to mean that anything of Type String is formatted with
double quotes, as stated above.
------
The .ami file has a different syntax, and its rules are still under
consideration. The current document states:
.... String
| literals begin and end with a double quote (") and no double quotes are
| allowed inside the string literals.
This rule may not be fully checked by the current parser since it is not
clear whether the contents of the AMI file must even have a consistent
Type or whether the Type directive is for EDA tool re-formatting.
In my opinion, always using " " is the safest and simplist interpretation.

Fangyi,
In the current standard it need to be (param_name ?param_value?).
I have proposed that if does not contain <space>, <cr> or <lf> that the ? are optional ? at least in the .ami file. This is what
Excel does in csv file when cells contain a comma or space.. But this
did not seam to get any traction in the group.

Subject: [ibis-macro] question about string parameter in AMI
Hi, Experts;
Shall the double quote of the value of a string parameter be included in
the input parameter string of the Init call? For example, if an AMI
model has a string parameter with name ?param_name? and value
?param_value?, should the input parameter string be
(param_name ?param_value?)
or
(param_name param_value)
Thanks in advance,
Fangyi
