You need to look a bit closer at the docs ;-)

After declaring myfunc() to return setof record, try:

select * from my_func() AS (a int8, b int8, c numeric, d numeric);
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                           missing - "the column definition list"
