Dear Bill Moran  ,

I know the correct solution is to use the same version to develop
on that I'm using to test.  So I'm going to downgrade my version
to 7.3.4 for now ... but this doesn't solve my biggest problem:
getting the FOR loop to work.  It appears from the error that
the parser is getting confused between a FOR IN SELECT loop and
a FOR integer loop.

If its not top secret we would like to see the code

I have tried this with dozens of FOR loops and get the same problem over and over again. Here is 1 example, I could easily provide a dozen more. Keep in mind that this code works perfectly in Postgres 7.4.

        FOR rval IN
                SELECT distinct 1 as Type,
                            OS.ID as ID,
                        trim(trailing FROM CAST(os.name AS char(85))) ||
                             ''  ('' || CAST((SELECT
                                        min(Series_Element.Delivery_Date)
                                                FROM    Series_Element
                                                WHERE   OS_ID = OS.ID
                                                ) AS CHAR(10)) ||
                             '')'' as DisplayName,
                    NULL AS OrderByName,
                        (SELECT min(Series_Element.Delivery_Date)
                                FROM    Series_Element
                                WHERE   OS_ID = OS.ID
                        ) as IssueDate
                FROM    OS_Issue OS
                WHERE   exists
                        (SELECT 1
                                FROM    Series_element SE,
                                        Series S
                                WHERE   SE.OS_ID = OS.ID
                                AND S.ID = SE.Series_ID
                                AND     S.Issuer_ID = issuer
                                AND Delivery_Date between startdate and enddate
                        )
                ORDER BY IssueDate DESC, DisplayName DESC
            LOOP

                    RETURN NEXT rval;

            END LOOP;
