Thanks, that was it indeed :D
I found it in the documentation only after your post.
Here's the modified function working with 7.4.8, in case somebody would like to know:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION subcategories(int) RETURNS setof int AS '
DECLARE
-- declarations
category ALIAS FOR $1;
category_current record;
sub_category_current record;
BEGIN
-- function body
SELECT category as my_output INTO category_current;
RETURN NEXT category_current.my_output;
FOR category_current IN SELECT id FROM is_categories WHERE id_parent=category AND status=''1'' LOOP
FOR sub_category_current IN SELECT subcategories FROM subcategories(category_current.id) LOOP
RETURN NEXT sub_category_current.subcategories;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
RETURN;
END;
' LANGUAGE plpgsql;
Thanks again :)

Peter Slapansky
