*In reply to chr_sue:
Thanks chr_sue for your observation.
Also I modified the code with some changes for uvm_printer to uvm_default_printer and now it works -
function void display_config() ;
uvm_default_printer.knobs.mcd = $fopen("CONFIG_OVERRIDE_FILE.txt"); // opening the file
this.print();
$fclose(uvm_default_printer.knobs.mcd); // closing the file
endfunction
Still the question about reading the configuration remains unanswered. Any suggestions ?
