At the best of my knowledge there is no such a feature in psql, but you
can use a shell script like the following one:
_________________________________________________________________
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "Type Part No: "
read PART_NO
psql <your database name> <<EOF
select part_no, description from pricing where part_no like ${PART_NO};
EOF
