Simple question about messages

Hi All,
I've written a script that trawls through my sql code and in
conjunction with GPP parses my code. I can then pipe this output from
bash to a file and as one large file, pipe that sql into postgresql from
the cli psql.

eg.
psql -h gaia -U postgres -d template1 < create_users_and_database.sql >
dbout.txt

That way the output is put into a file rather than just the terminal.
It also reduces the clutter on the screen and off the mark I get the
table create notice like NOTICE:: CREATE TABLE ......

However, may question is that how do I raise custom notices like 'At
point x' or something. That way I can get a feel for where the commands
are and that way when the occasiconal 'parser: parse error at or near
'WHERE' character 2' pops up know where roughly to find it.

I've tried RAISE NOTICE 'xxx'; but that fails.
SELECT 'point x' AS point; creates a larger output of result name and
text, but that isn't ideal.

I've flicked through the docs, but nothing jumps out at me?

Thanks.
