Jim Thompson suggested I put your name in the subject line...
Ok, double checked. Capture does not support leading zeros in bus
names.

Ok, thanks. I guess I am remembering what I used to do in VHDL.
I like to use double digits so that all the signal names will sort
correctly in any text format like in a spreadsheet or even a simple
entry in a Word document. So I guess I will still have to sort the
docs by hand.
Why not write BUS[15:100] BUS[15:101]......
I'm not sure what you are saying. 15:100 would be a bus of 86 signals!
I am trying to create a bus of N signals with names of BUS00, BUS01,
BUS02... BUSnn
But you can't do that in Orcad. So I guess I won't.
I would recommend that you ignore me as someone who doesn't know what you
are really doing so I naturally don't know what I'm talking about. However,
pretending to be smart, I thought.....
If the software will not accept a leading zero give it something that is not
a leading zero.
Now I get the impression that things are more complicated than that and if
you define BUS15:100 (I don't do hex but I believe your 86) then the
software immediatly generates an 86 line bus and moans about the fact you
haven't used them all in the design.
