Thank you sir and I am sorry for the typo not having "--" on password. I did spelling out with --password=mypassword
>> echo select count(*) from tableA; | "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\bin\psql" -U PSmasteruser -d PSCIDR -h hostname.amazonaws.com -p 5432 --password=mypassword
even -W for password>> echo select count(*) from tableA; | "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\bin\psql" -U PSmasteruser -d PSCIDR -h hostname.amazonaws.com -p 5432 -W=mypassword
none of them work, still prompt me for password to type in. I will look into the pgpassfile which I know it will fail again.
very respectfully,

No one in this world is pure and perfect. If you avoid people for their mistakes you will be alone. So judge less, love, and forgive more.To call him a dog hardly seems to do him justice though in as much as he had four legs, a tail, and barked, I admit he was, to all outward appearances. But to those who knew him well, he was a perfect gentleman (Hermione Gingold)

Once again -P has nothing to do with password. Also --password does not
take an argument, it is meant to be used as is. The purpose is to force
a password prompt. This is all spelled out here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/app-psql.html
Also spelled out in above is:
" It is also convenient to have a ~/.pgpass file to avoid regularly
having to type in passwords. See Section 33.15 for more information."
And Section 33.15:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/libpq-pgpass.html
"The file .pgpass in a user's home directory can contain passwords to be
used if the connection requires a password (and no password has been
specified otherwise). ..."
Read more at link for how to do that.
