INCLUDE_FILE
filename
Use
filename
for a file in your working directory,
or specify the full pathname, or a pathname
relative to the working directory. Include files add
mechanical parts to a BOM. You may use
multiple statements.
NEW_BOM
PartNumber

used to compare two SAP
.lis
files.
NEW_BOM_TYPE
VL_SCHEM_EXTRACT

should be changed only by expert users.
OLD_BOM
PartNumber
.saplis
Specifies the previous BOM for the top-level (920,
960, or 980) PCB assembly number so that the
PartNumber
.diff
file can be created by
comparing the old BOM with the new one.
OLD_BOM_TYPE SAP_REPORT Defines the type of file for the old BOM. Should
be changed only by expert users.
REPORT_DIR_NAME
bom_dir
Specifies a different directory than your working
directory for the generated files, e.g., to generate
multiple BOMs or keep the files separated.

bom_upload
from this directory.
We recommend one BOM directory for each
BOM you want to generate, i.e., one BOM per
REPORT_DIR_NAME directory.
REPORT_PREFIX_NAME
Part_or_ProjectName
The filename prefix for generated files. For
920-level BOMs, this is the project name. You can
change the name to generate multiple BOMs
from a single design for new projects.

changes.rev
,
_cost.lst
,
.profile
,
_proto.diff
, and
.sap
files.
TARGET_MFG_SITE

The manufacturing plant (BNE, BNIRE, BNW)
and which AVL will be used.
VL_SCHEM_PARTLISTER_INI_FILE
