What database access driver/method are you using?

PostgreSQL doesn't support 'EXEC' ... you probably want to

SELECT myfunctionname(argument1, argument2);

instead. If you're using ODBC, you should be using the ODBC
procedure-call escape sequence to make it database-agnostic, eg:

{? = CALL procname(?,?)}

See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms403294.aspx

The ODBC driver for the database you're using should translate that into
suitable call syntax for your database, eg in PostgreSQL it should produce

SELECT procname(?,?);

and capture the result.

I was initially suspicious that the issue was the whitespace in the
quoted number, but that's not it. You're simply sending a completely
bogus query string, and that's the first point the parser happens to
choke on.
