Changing the line above to read:

    res =3D PQexecParams( m_db, "SELECT * FROM abcatfmt WHERE abf_type =3D
$1::smallint", 1, nullptr, paramValues, paramLengths, paramFormats, 1
);


results in:

$1 =3D L"ERROR:  incorrect binary data format in bind parameter 1\n"

I am now at a complete loss.

How do I fix the code so it will run?

Thank you.
