Hello

I have code:

  EXEC SQL PREPARE prep_stmt3 FROM "CALL "My_Proc"(?)";

General usage questions regarding PostgreSQL and ECPG should be sent to the -general list.

I don't know the correct answer here but maybe using dollar quoting within the PostgreSQL SQL statement instead of double-quotes will help.  Something like:

prepare prep_stat3 from "call $$My_Proc$$()";

Asking an actual question does help others to figure out where you are confused instead of just guessing.
