Hi, Srikanth.

#define checkError(string,val) \
if(val) \
{ \
  printf("Failed with %d at %s\n",val,string); \
  exit(1); \
}

Try like this - it works, I've just tested. If you fail to find the
difference - continuation mark on each row.

Normally you see some second level text, but not in this case. Afraid that
compiler was so surprised to see this sort of thing, that could not find a
word! :-)
