Hi Pavel,

I was doing some work on rewording these error messages, and I noticed
that the following code segment occurs identically in four different
locations:

numstr = orgnum = (char *) palloc(MAXDOUBLEWIDTH + 1);
if (Num.pre != 1)
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_SYNTAX_ERROR),
errmsg("invalid using of format EEEE")));

Rather than rewording all four copies of the message, I wonder if this
test might be better factored out into a separate function?

Cheers,
BJ
