Hi,

This appears to be "extra careful" error checking on the part of the compiler.
I would suggest adding a dummy statement after the label as a minimal change.
For instance change this:

"
         jRecord++;

         end:
     }
"

to this:

"
         jRecord++;

         end:
         printf( "" );
     }
"


Best regards,
