Guys, looking at ecpg from CVS HEAD's 7.4. The following code
fragement:

 EXEC SQL INCLUDE sqlca;
 EXEC SQL WHENEVER SQLERROR call sqlprint;

 void lofsdb_GetMinMaxRxStations(int *from, int *to)
 {
  EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
  int l_from = 0;
  int l_to   = 0;
  EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

  *from = 0;
  *to   = 0;

  EXEC SQL BEGIN;
  EXEC SQL SELECT MIN(from_station), MAX(to_station)
    INTO :l_from, :l_to
    FROM attr_tables
    WHERE basetab LIKE 'attr_rx_%';
  if( sqlca.sqlcode == 0 )
    {
      *from = l_from;
      *to   = l_to;
    }
  EXEC SQL COMMIT;
 }

when processed using:

 /var/lib/pgsql/74b/bin/ecpg -t -I/var/lib/pgsql/74b/include -o x.c x.pc

results in the following error:

 x.pc:4: ERROR: syntax error at or near "to"

However this works ok on 7.3.x and when the "to" variable is renamed
(e.g. to "to_rx"). Obviously TO is an SQL keyword, but it's not being
used within an EXEC SQL definition, so shouldn't break things.

Regards, Lee.
