Hi there,
I take it, the tags are added to your application by a pre-processor like tool, called before the PA compiler (cmd line) correct?
In this case I would:
1- save the rational pre-processor (instrumenter) output file (as it should be the one taking the pargma into account).
2- compile that output file with the PA cmd line compiler and see the error,worning inofrmation messages generated.
the pragma your are mentioning is targetting the rational instrumenteur and not the PA compiler... Are you sure your instrumenteur is switch ON?? it may be that the instrumenter is not called for some reasons and the PA copmpiler not knowing about the pragma just ignores it...
Hope this helps...
