- md5 takes TEXT as an argument, not a numeric type
- assign each variable of type tSession to its corresponding value:
thisSession.ty_found := ''t'';
thisSession.ty_session := md5(CAST((now( )) AS TEXT));
I haven't looked up the rand() function, but you can see from this how
you would cast it and now() to text.

And then you can get the results:
select * from getsessionid(1);
imperial=# select * from getsessionid(1);
ty_found | ty_session

t | cf76cca2b562a0ead48d3eb3810f51cc
