Matthew(s),

I have just started using version 2.1.3 of 'e2sr' in order to
make use of the macro substitution through a heirarchy of schematics.
However, I seem to have found a bug with the CALC field of calculation records.

If you set the CALC field as: A%6
(which I believe is allowable, as stated in the record reference manual).
The result in the '.sr' file is: A%67 !!

I went through the following to generate this:

sch2edif -n test.sch.  (Version 2.2.74)

(Incidently, this gave me a file which had the following:

              (property (rename def "def")
                (string "test:calc1.B"))))
          (instance (rename calc1 "calc1")
            (viewRef NETLIST_VIEW 
              (cellRef ecalcs))
            (property (rename CALC "CALC")
              (string "A%37%6")))
          (net (rename n_22 "n#22")

Where does the extra "%37" come from?) 

e2sr test.edf. (Version 2.1.3)
gave: 
	DESC calculation record
	SCAN Passive
	PINI NO
	PHAS 0
	EVNT 0
	DISV 1
	SDIS 0.000000000000000e+00
	DISS NO_ALARM
	PRIO LOW
	FLNK 0.000000000000000e+00
	CALC A%67
	INPA test:calc1.VAL .NPP.NMS

The original 'sch' file is:

[schematic2]
uniq 36
[tools]
[detail]
w -1152 722 100 0 n#22 ecalcs.calc1.VAL 
-960 400 -896 400 -896 720 -1360 720 -1360 592 -1248 592 ecalcs.calc1.INPA
[cell use]

use ecalcs -1224 120 100 0 calc1
xform 0 -1104 384
p -1341 600 100 0 0 CALC:A%6
[comments]

I also noticed that A%67 generated A%67% ?
Can anyone tell me if they have noticed anything similar?

Am I using the correct flags on the programs? I don't understand what is
going on? 

Thanks for any help.

Andy
