Try:

create or replace function te(out a int,out b int)
returns setof record as $pgsql$
  begin
    a := 1;
    b := 2;
    return next;
  end;
$pgsql$ language plpgsql;

contrib_regression=# select * from te();
 a | b
---+---
 1 | 2
(1 row)

-- or --

create or replace function te()
returns TABLE(a int, b int) as $pgsql$
  begin
    a := 1;
    b := 2;
    return next;
  end;
$pgsql$ language plpgsql;

contrib_regression=# select * from te();
 a | b
---+---
 1 | 2
(1 row)
