This statement Specifies the character that expresses hierarchy when DEF names are mapped to or from other databases. The DIVIDERCHAR statement is not persistently stored in OpenAccess. It is stored in the temporary oaDefNS namespace for use during parsing of the DEF file.

character

If the technology database associated with the design contains a hierarchical type property named LEF Legacy, and this property contains a string property named DIVIDER, the value of character is the value of the DIVIDER property. Otherwise, the value is /. Use the following function to search for the properties:

   oaProp *oaProp::find(oaObject *object,
                        const oaString &name,
                        oaBoolean crossDomain = false)

where:

• The technology database object is the first parameter.
• The LEF Legacy string is the second parameter.
• The crossDomain parameter determines whether multiple domains are
• searched and whether properties can be inherited from other domains.

If found, re-use the same function with the found hierarchical property object as the first parameter, and use the DIVIDER string for the property name. The value of a property is found using:

   void oaProp::getValue(oaString &value) const
