My script is below.

I thought (based on recent posts) that this use of RETURN is allowed, but
when trying an insert to report_table, I get the following error:

ERROR:  control reaches end of trigger procedure without RETURN

I have solved several problems in getting to this point, but have now run
out of ideas.  I would appreciate any pointers.

drop function mrr();

create function mrr() returns opaque as '

       then
               NEW.rate := NEW.rate/12;               NEW.rate_override := NEW.rate_override/12;
               return NEW;
