Computed table name in function - Mailing list pgsql-sql

I have a problem that I don't know where to look to understand the problem.

I have a function that I first select to get a table name followed by
another select into on that table name.  If someone could tell me where to
look to solve this problem I would appreciate it.

It is something like

DECLARE rec1 Record;       rec2 Record;

SELECT aName INTO rec1 FROM tableA WHERE new.xxx = ?;

IF FOUND THEN
   SELECT * INTO rec2 FROM rec1.aName where new.xxx = ?;


Thanks
