How to output clisccp in cosp?

Hello, I have seen the variable clisccp in the CESM2 CMIP6 dataset :
source_id = CESM2
source_types = AGCM, AER
south_degrees = -90.0
table_id = CFmon
variable = clisccp
variable_id = clisccp
variable_long_name = ISCCP Cloud Area Percentage
variable_units = %
variant_label = r1i1p1f1
west_degrees = 0.0
I have enabled the cosp and isccp cloud simulator in my run, but I can't find clisccp in the model output file. So I wonder how can I get the output variable clisccp for my CESM run ?

Thank you very much for your reply !

The field you're looking for is called "FISCCP1_COSP", unless the code has changed. CESM doesn't output MIP-compliant names, so please look for that field.

Hello, here I got another question. What is the relation between CMIP variable pr and CESM output 'PRECL', 'PRECC' ?
table_id = Amon
variable = pr
variable_id = pr
variable_long_name = Precipitation
variable_units = kg m-2 s-1
variant_label = r1i1p1f1
west_degrees = 0.0
Is pr = (PRECL + PRECC) * 1000 kg m-3 right ?
I am grateful for your help.
