when i copy/paste the select stmt into psql, it works. or if i use it
"dynamically". it doesn't work properly when i use it in a prepared
statement -- which is what i am doing.

Subject: column doesn't get calculated
this must be a problem with my sql, but this one has me stumped. the column:
Debit."cumm_dbt_blnce" - Credit."cumm_crd_blnce" in the long sql statement
below comes out as the literal: Debit."cumm_dbt_blnce" -
Credit."cumm_crd_blnce" rather than as the calculated value. WHY!?!?!
this works with simple sql:
select a."field1" - b."field2" from (select field1 as "field1" from
someTable) as a, (select field2 as "field2" from someOtherTable) as b;
but with my more complex sql, it doesn't. it comes out as a literal string.
it's almost like postgresql forgot to process this column.
select cred_vend_acct_table.num as "num" , cred_vend_acct_table.name as "name" , abs_vend_acct_type_table.name as
"name", Debit."cumm_dbt_blnce" - Credit."cumm_crd_blnce" as "undefined" , Debit."cumm_dbt_blnce" as "cumm_dbt_blnce" ,
Credit."cumm_crd_blnce"as "cumm_crd_blnce" , cred_vend_acct_table.objid as "__OBJID__" , cred_vend_acct_table.clsref as
"__CLSREF__"
from only cred_vend_acct_table , abs_vend_acct_type_table , ( select daily_acct_blnce_table.cumm_dbt_blnce as

2147483647) ) and ( ( daily_acct_blnce_table.status = 'e' ) ) and (
daily_acct_blnce_table.abs_acct_objref[2]=
