"0" and "1" end up as literal integers, since you've not told it
otherwise. You have two options:
1. Cast your parameters when you call the function
   select calculo_valor_...(0::smallint, 1::smallint, ...)
2. Define your function to take integers

I'd choose #2, you're not gaining anything by having smallint parameters.
