Hi,

I try to code a PL/pgSQL function, but always get to an execution error, I am
unable to solve:

sledger=# \i fnc_summary.pgsql
CREATE FUNCTION
COMMENT
GRANT
COMMIT
sledger=# select * from GET_SUMMARY();
ERROR: Error >>syntax error<< at >>$1<< at character 53
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "get_summary" line 9 at for over select rows

The function script is as follows:

-- $Revision$
-- $Name$
-- $Date$
-- $Author$
-- $State$
-- $Locker$
-- $Source$
-- $Header$

create or replace function GET_SUMMARY() returns integer as '

;
end loop;
TXT := \'STR_SOURCE_NAME: \' || STR_SOURCE_NAME;
perform common.log_debug(TXT);
return 0;
end;
' language plpgsql;

comment on function GET_SUMMARY() is '

';

grant execute on function GET_SUMMARY() to public;

commit;

--\i include_a_file.pgsql

-- $Log$

Does somebody have an idea how to fix the function?

Cheers

Thiemo
