It's skipping comp_nr because comp_nr is type SERIAL, which is ignored by INPUT stmts. (I don't know why you are inputting a serial value). Anyway, you might be able to define the field as INTEGER and explicily name it the same as the table definition, but that defeats the benefits of "record like".
