HI,

I have a PLPgSQL function that return void but I need to exit the function if some condition returns true.

I have tried to do this, but I got an error:

[code]
        IF pVAL_CHAVE_2 > pVAL_CAMPO1 THEN
            RAISE NOTICE 'O campo data fim tem de ser maior que o campo data inicio.';
            RETURN 0;
        END IF;
[/code]

The error is the folowing:

[quote]
ERROR:  RETURN cannot have a parameter in function returning void at or near "0" at character 1973
[/quote]

My question. How can I display the NOTICE and exit the function?

Best Regards,
