As per the earlier code, condition result was always true. So pset.lineno was always incremented.
In the earlier code pset.cur_cmd_source was sent as parameter to function and inside the function same parameter was used with the name copystream. So on entry of this function both will be one and same.
I checked inside the function handleCopyIn, both of these parameters are not changing before above check. Also since pset is specific to single session, so it cannot change concurrently.
Please let me know, if I am missing something.

OK. I shall change accodingly.

OK. I shall change accodingly.

I had checked the existing regression test cases and observed that it has already got all kind of test cases. Like
copy....stdin,
copy....stdout,
\copy.....stdin
\copy.....stdout.

But since as regression framework runs in "quite i.e. -q" mode, so it does not show any message except query output.
So our new code change does not impact regression framework.

Please let me know if you were expecting any other test cases?

OK.

Please provide you opinion, based on which I shall prepare new patch and share the same.
