Of course the #define XYZ is inside a .h file. The name of the .h file is
entered in
the Prefix File field.
When I type some garbage in the .h file, the compiler complains the error.
Thanks

Just to be certain I understand correctly... you did NOT type this #define
into the field of the CodeWarrior C/C++ panel which specifies the prefix
file name to use, but rather, you've added #define XYZ to the CONTENTS of
the prefix file specified in the CodeWarrior C/C++ panel... yes? For every
target in the project?
Did you try putting some uncompilable garbage characters in your .h and .c
files within your #ifdef...#endif directives to see if the prefix file is
being parsed correctly or not? The compiler should complain when it hits
those garbage characters if the #define is being activated correctly.
