Hi,

How to retrieve the IN parameter of a function for later use ?

i tried this :

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "public"."SP_U_001" ("TypeOfArticle" varchar)
RETURNS SETOF "public"."active_articles" AS

My advice: Don't quote your identifiers unless you really really want them to be case sensitive. Usually there's no benefit, and it can add quite a bit of confusion ("What do you mean my function does not exist?!? It's right here!").

$body$
DECLARE
 TypeArt VARCHAR := TypeOfArticle;
   rec RECORD;
   res active_articles;
/**************************************/
BEGIN

 SELECT articletypes.articletype_id INTO tpart FROM articletypes
   WHERE articletypes.articletype_type = TypeArt;
....

but it seems that      TypeArt VARCHAR := TypeOfArticle;     does not
work....

Can you help me ?

I don't think that assignments in the declare block are allowed. You could make your variable an alias though:
    DECLARE
        TypeArt ALIAS FOR "TypeOfArticle";

You could also move the assignment into the body of the function.

Although I wonder why you don't just use the IN parameter.
