It's either a single sql statement, or a collection of them between
"begin atomic" and "end".  There are no variables or flow control
constructs or anything like that, just as there are no such things
outside of a function.

What is the source of this comment? Maybe we are speaking (and thinking) about different languages.

I thought the language of SQL functions (ANSI/SQL) is SQL/PSM.
