Line 15 of the function is:

You've declared returnValue to be a composite type (typ_remote_net)
so you need to assign to a particular column or use a row constructor:

    returnValue.remote_net := 'none';
    -- or
    returnValue := row('none');

Likewise in a few other places.  Also, the function's query has a
syntax error:
