Reinterpreting the question and taking the pseudocode
semi-literally is
the following closer to what was asked?
ref. 39.2. Structure of PL/pgSQL
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/plpgsql-structure.html>
pendari=> CREATE FUNCTION somefunc() RETURNS text AS $$
pendari$>
pendari$> DECLARE
pendari$> v_some_id int=14;
pendari$> BEGIN
pendari$> /*
pendari$> more queries here...
pendari$> */
pendari$> RETURN 'this is text'::text;
pendari$> END;
pendari$> $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
pendari=> select somefunc();
somefunc
--------------
this is text
(1 row)
pendari=>
