Hello
I have code:

void main()
{
char *foo = "CALL "My_Proc"(?)";
EXEC SQL char *stmt = foo;
EXEC SQL PREPARE prep_stmt FROM :stmt;

EXEC SQL char *stmt2 = "CALL \x22OMy_Proc\x22(?)";
EXEC SQL PREPARE prep_stmt2 FROM :stmt2;

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

ecpg --version
ecpg (PostgreSQL) 13.0 (Ubuntu 13.0-1.pgdg20.04+1)

ecpg sample.pgc -o sample.c
sample.pgc:10: ERROR: syntax error at or near "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.

I have also tried dollar quoting.
Unfortunately it fails at runtime:
*SQL error: syntax error at or near "$$My_Proc$$"*
