test exsample:
    create or replace function test()
    returns void as

You don't use ROLLBACK in a PL/pgSQL function.  It's not supported.  You
need to use an exception instead.  See the PL/pgSQL documentation.  A
trivial example:

     create or replace function test()
    returns void as
    $$
    begin
        delete from regiondata;
        raise exception 'oops, deleted the whole table';
        return;
    exception when others then
        null;
        return;
    end;
    $$ language 'plpgsql';

Or, more generally useful,

     create or replace function test()
    returns void as
    $$
    begin
        begin
            delete from regiondata;
            raise exception 'oops, deleted the whole table';
        exception when others then
            null;
        end;
        return;
    end;
    $$ language 'plpgsql';
