Which data type are you using? It is possible to declare a struct inside
the declare section.

You have to write it out there or else the statement using the struct won't
work because the preproc never saw the definition.

That won't work. ECPG will not see this part of the code. Did you try the
latest CVS version aka PostgreSQL 7.1?
