Hmm. The fact that you don't get an error suggests
that the function is running correctly, but not doing
what we expect.
What do you get when you just run the SQL from the
command line?
I am assuming that something is actually returned for
both sums: if there are no values for either "stkreal"
or "stkpteser" for "codarticulo = '020220064'", then a
null will be returned, which will turn the final
result into a null...
If there are null values anywhere in those columns,
then that could happen at any time. To guard against
that, use something like:
stock := coalesce(all_stocks.stock1::text, '') ||
coalesce(all_stocks.stock2::text, '');
