VCS compilation error with Encrypted RTL (Warning-[USCLA] Unterminated string)

[Ranand]

Hi ,
I have an encrypted RTL (encrypted using the synopsys Public key and cadence ncprotect utility.

But when trying to compile the protected file ,I get the following error,

Warning-[USCLA] Unterminated string
  Unterminated string found in file 'adder_aec.vp' 
  at line '9' 
  for an argument 'IST"
  `pragma protect data_method="aes128-cbc"

Error-[SFCOR] Source file cannot be opened
  Source file "module" cannot be opened for reading due to 'No such file or 
  directory'.
  Please fix above issue and compile again.

Can somebody please help me as to what this issue is and how to fix it ?

Thanks,

Hi,
This error seems to be because of the VCS tool not able to understand that the Verilog file is a protected rtl.
Is there any additional switches /commands that need to be used in VCS for compiling and simulation a protected RTL(from cadence ncprotect)?

Thanks,
Ranand
