It's easier if you define a composite type to hold the return type,
something like:
CREATE TYPE tesp_return1 AS (jj int, ss varchar(10));
Then have tesp_returnRec1() return a tesp_return1 and tesp_returnrec2
changes a little bit as well, rec becomes of type tesp_return1%ROWTYPE
and you want to select into using SELECT INTO rec * from tesP_returnRec1()
I believe.
If you do it all with RECORD, you don't need to define the type, change
the return type or type of rec, but you need to put the type information
on the select into, something like:SELECT INTO rec * from tesP_returnRec1() as foo(jj int, ss varchar(10));
