    Is there an equivalent open-access version of
    ilInst~>cellView~>instancesLastChanged ?

    I'm trying to get a date stamp on my schematic everytime I check and
    save but have not been able to do so with Cadence's open-access
    database.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Why do you need a date stamp? OA works with "counters" rather than date stamps.
    This is for two reasons (mainly):

    1. getting the clock is a relatively expensive operation (especially when you
    need to do it for every single database operation)
    2. Previously there was only 1 second resolution - and an awful lot can change
    in 1 second on modern computers!

    You can get the time of last save by doing cellViewId~>fileTimeStamp

    Andrew.
