Michael,
Yes, '-e' is the argument. I possibly could have upgraded the
code without upgrading the docs....
Here is the version output from ecpg...
Let me know if this version of ecpg matches the 7.1.3 docs...
[postgres@polaris bin]$ ecpg -V
ecpg: invalid option -- V
ecpg - the postgresql preprocessor, version: 2.8.0
Usage: ecpg: [-v] [-t] [-I include path] [ -o output file name] [-D define
name] file1 [file2] ...
[postgres@polaris bin]$
Thanks for your help!
Lynn
