I have some problems on MS SQL procedure convert to PostgreSQL PL/pgsql function. Please give me some advice.  Can I

I have many procedure in MS SQL which run dynmaic SQL Example:

if (UPPER(@DBTableName) = 'OT_APPLNCUSTOMER' or UPPER(@DBTableName) = 'OT_APPLTADDRTBL' )

   begin
     Set @SQLStm = 'Declare Cur_Temp_Attribute Cursor  ' +
                   'For select ' + @DBTableField + ' From ' +
                   @DBTableName   +
                   ' Where APPln_Ref_No = ' + '''' + @Appln_Ref_No + ''''
   end
else
   begin
     Set @SQLStm = 'Declare Cur_Temp_Attribute Cursor  ' +
                   'For select ' + @DBTableField + ' From ' +
                   @DBTableName   +
