If it worked before in v15.2 and now exporting back to v15.2 it does
not. Maybe there were some changes to the netlist list where a net name
has characters that Specctra does not like.
Does the commands (route, fanout, smart_route) work on a different dsn
file?

With your feedback and not having the database, I've not encountered
this myself. This sounds like this particular database needs to
reviewed with Cadence.
