plpgsql For SQLQuery Loop Flags Error

Hi All,

I am compiling a function that uses the For Query
loop....End Loop.

I get error "missing ".." at end of SQL expression"

I have read following Note: The PL/pgSQL parser
presently distinguishes the two kinds of FOR loops
(integer or query result) by checking whether the
target variable mentioned just after FOR has been
declared as a record or row variable. If not, it's
presumed to be an integer FOR loop. This can cause
rather nonintuitive error messages when the true
problem is, say, that one has misspelled the variable
name after the FOR. Typically the complaint will be
something like missing ".." at end of SQL expression

Re checked the RECORD variable in function
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION slice(char(15),varchar,
integer) RETURNS integer AS '
 DECLARE
     curTrackList char(15) ALIAS for $1;
    sliceFile varchar ALIAS for $2;
    lmfpLimit integer ALIAS for $3
    mTrackDet RECORD;

    lpmfSum integer := 0;
    Sliced CONSTANT integer := 2;
    curId varchar;
    counter integer :=1 ;
 BEGIN

    ----Build the curSliceId value
    curId := curTrackList;
    Insert into mysliceDetail
values(''abcdef'',''Ghijkl'',0);

    FOR mTrackDet IN SELECT myrequest.trackId,
lmfpsize from myrequest,track where trkfound <> Sliced
and myRequest.trackid = track.trackId and lmfpsize > 0
order by volatility LOOP

         -- Now "mTrackDet" has one record from slice
list
        --LOOP
    --WHILE lpmfSum < lpmfLimit LOOP

        --Insert into mysliceDetail values(curId,
mTrackDet.trackId ,0);
        --Insert into curSliceDetail values(curId,
mTrackDet.trackId ,0);

        --lmfpSum := mTrackDet.lmfpsize + lmfpSum ;
    --EXIT WHEN lpmfSum > lpmfLimit
    --END LOOP;
        insert into sliceToBuild values(curId, 0);
        copy curSliceDetail to sliceFile;
        counter := counter + 1;
        Truncate Table curSliceDetail;
        ---Generate next curSliceId
        curSliceId := curTrackList + counter;
    END LOOP;

     RETURN 1;
 END;
 ' LANGUAGE plpgsql;

Can someone help please

Regards
Paul
