Did you add:
#include <Guid/MdePkgTokenSpace.h>
and list gEfiMdePkgTokenSpaceGuid in the [Guids] section of the INF.
In general it is hard to comment on compiler failures in fragments of code. If
you post the actual compiler error it is easier to explain.
The PCDs are a GUID + token number namespace for config. Since anyone can
define a GUID that does not conflict it allows arbitrary extension without
conflict.
The Ex form of the API includes the GUID + token number. The non Ex form is a
size optimization that uses a build generated token space. So generally if
everything is built together then you use the non Ex form to save space. If
different binaries that got compiled in different places need to work together
then the Ex form is required.
