Regrding target construct error (mic offload)

[psing51]

i have started exploring openmp 4.0 constructs for intel xeon phi architecture by writing small code snippets.
So, i wrote the following code:

int a[100],b[100],c[100],i;
#pragma omp  target device(mic0) map(a,b)  //offload target(mic:0)
{
  for(i=0;i<100;i++)
        {
                a=i;b=i;
                c=a+b;

        }
        system("uname -r");
}

but the compilation of this code gives following error:
icc -openmp test.c

test.c(6): error: identifier "mic0" is undefined
 #pragma omp  target device(mic0) map(a,b)  //offload target(mic:0)

but if i change my code as:

#pragma offload target(mic:0)// map(a,b)  //offload target(mic:0)
{
  for(i=0;i<100;i++)
        {
                a=i;b=i;
                c=a+b;

        }
        system("uname -r");
}

the compilation succeeds.
What is the reason for this behaviour ? is the #pragma omp target device incorrect  for icc?
Eagerly awaiting your reply

'#pragma omp  target device()' and '#pragma offload target()' are different offload directives and have different syntax.  For the 'omp' flavor, the argument for 'device' has to be an integer expression, eg:

  int d = f ? omp_get_num_devices () : omp_get_default_device ();
  #pragma omp target device (d)

For the non-omp flavor, the argument to 'device' is considerably more rich: target ( target-name [ :target-number ] ); target-name could be 'mic' or 'gfx', and target-number takes various integer values, eg, -1 lets the runtime system decide the target, as described in the compiler User and Reference Guide.
