I tried the following (screwed up spacing due to pine autowrap :-)

    exec sql
      insert into
    customer(uid,id,name_first,name_middle,name_last,company,

    address1,address2,city,state,country,zip,phone_work,

    phone_home,phone_fax,email,date_entered,billing_terms,
                           confirmation_method)
      values (:uid,:uid:id_n,:name_first:name_first_n,
              :name_middle:name_middle_n, :name_last:name_last_n,
              :company:company_n,:address1:address1_n,
              :address2:address2_n,:city:city_n,:state:state_n,
              :country:country_n,:zip:zip_n,:phone_work:phone_work_n,

    :phone_home:phone_home_n,:phone_fax:phone_fax_n,:email:email_n,
              date('now'),:billing_terms:billing_terms_n,
              :confirmation_method:confirmation_method_n);


Adding the indicators to the above statement causes ecpg(from the 6.4.2
distro) to seg fault while processing the statement.  I defined each
indicator as the original var name with _n added to the end.  I tried
type int and long.  The statement preprocesses fine without the indicator
vars.

I dont know the proper method for looking into core files but by trial and
error I got gdb to produce (is this correct way to do this?)

Does anyone have a working example of using indicator vars with ecpg?
Thanks.
