Thanks!  Your solution clearly works, but it requires the shared function to
enumerate all possible column names.  In my real case, there are 8-10
distinct names, so that's a bit ugly....but it works.

If you just need which table triggered the function then |TG_TABLE_NAME| may
be simpler than passing parameters.

Something like this will probably work for you (replace the raise notice
with whatever you have to do)

create or replace function atest() returns trigger as $$ declare
   avalue int;
   tblfld text;
begin
   tblfld := tg_argv[0];
   if tblfld = 'aa' then
      avalue := new.aa;
   else
      if tblfld = 'bb' then
          avalue := new.bb;
      end if;
   end if;
   raise notice '%',avalue;
   return new;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
