returning multiple values and ref cursors

hello, 

I am porting an Oracle stored procedure to plpgsql (pg 7.4.1) that has about 
ten ref cursor OUT parameters, a varchar OUT parameter and returns an 
integer. The varchar is an error/status message, the integer is a 1/0 for 
success/failure. 

What are your thoughts on the best way to approach this? Break up the stored 
proc into ten different stored procs that return ref cursors? 

Thanks, 

Dennis
