Scripting in OCEAN

Hi!
Let us say i have a circuit A.
Circuit A has a schematic view consisting of transistors and passive
elements.
Circuit A has a Verilog-A view.

Do you know if it is possible to specify the view (schematic or
Verilog-A) i want to simulate
in OCEAN without changing the netlist manually. Something like this in
OCEAN would be
cool, isn't it?

1) Circuit A in schematic
2) run
3) output Vout (lets us say a voltage on net called 'out') to a file.
4) Circuit A in Verilog-A
5) run
6) output Vout
7) calculate voltage difference between 3 and 6
8) plot the results

I tried to this for quite sometime but could not figure out how to do
it. The roadblock
is that OCEAN gets the netlist from a location (the views are
mentioned in the netlist)
and i don't want to get into netlist modification.

I know this can be done with config view but i am just thinking of
another way of doing it.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but you *could* reference
the actual cell view if you run your ocean script in icfb.

design( "lib" "cell" "config")

For some reason, ocean can't reference cell views directly, but only
netlists. I would much prefer if ocean could reference a cell view
rather than netlist. This would aleviate the problem of netlists being
out of date with the intended cell view.
