Code:

WARNING="WARNING" 
 ERR=$ERROR"\|"$WARNING

awk  '/Starting/{if(b) exit; else b=1}1' $filename | grep -A3 -in "$ERR"

Please guide me.
With the : after ERROR marked in red above, I don't see how you got ERROR lines output either. I'm short on time today, (and this hasn't been tested), but try something more like:
Code:
ERROR="ERROR"
WARNING="WARNING"
ERR="$ERROR|$WARNING"

ed -s "$filename" <<-"EOF" | grep -E -A3 -in "$ERR"
        ?Starting?,$p
        q
EOF
