Still no joy...if i forget about the variables and just try buidling a string to execute, eg:

sql := 'INSERT INTO application (id,body) VALUES (''asdf'',''lkjh'')';
 
It works.

but with the variables i still get an error...

I tried putting quotes (two single quote chars) around the VALUES variables

  sql := 'INSERT INTO '+ $3 +' (id,body) VALUES ('''+ $1 +''','''+ $2 +''')';

but it still will not work. "ERROR: 42883: operator does not exist: \"unknown\" + character varying"

remove the double quotes with id and body and see if it works.
