Assuming you're running the command in the working directory where the
file should be (which is what you should be doing), you just want the
file name, not the path to the repository version:

	cvs -d /opt/prodcvs update -j 1.2 -j 1.1 EA_APRT_LOAD.esql

Even though the file doesn't exist in the working directory (because it
was deleted), CVS knows how to find it in the repository and get it
back.
