Hello:
I noticed that I'm getting errors when copy and pasting code for stored 
procedure from Windows directly into psql running in putty.
To reproduce create a procedure that has multiple statements with each 
statements having multiple lines, similar to the ones below:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test()AS$$     UPDATE                     table1    
  SET                   field1 = ?;

       -- more SQL statements$$LANGUAGE SQL;
Copy and paste from Windows editor (or IDE) to a psql running in a Putty. 
Chances are it will complain of syntax error. The error doesn't appear when I 
copy and paste it to an empty file in vim, and the run:
psql -f <file name>
Is there a way of prevent this kind of error when pasting directly into psql? 
I'm using the latest version of PostgreSQL (server and client. Version 14.4)
Thank you in advance,Ludwig Lim
