I have no I idea either, seems silly to me.

 From your previous post:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dw_bsc.proc_perspectives(
     character varying,
     integer,
     character varying,
     character varying,
     character varying,
     integer,
     date)
   RETURNS SETOF refcursor AS

....

You use two cursors internally, but are returning only one above. Unless
you do something like Kevin Grittner and I showed there is no way for
Postgres to know how to assign the internal cursors to return values
that can be used externally.

Well the point of the list is to answer questions and if I did not have
the time or the interest I would not answer, so do not worry about it.
