composite type use in pl/gpsql

Merlin writes"
first, the way to do insert from composite type is like this:

insert into foo select (f).*;

if f is type of foo. The actual error you're getting is probably...."

I gave this a try. Still bumping into syntax errors
CREATE TYPE oww_mart_tbls.type_log_site_process AS
(proc_id integer,
proc_name character varying(500),
step_id integer,
step_desc character varying(2000),
step_starttime timestamp without time zone,
step_endtime timestamp without time zone,
step_returncode character varying(500),
activity_count integer,
status_flag character varying(1),
status_desc character varying(2000));
ALTER TYPE oww_mart_tbls.type_log_site_process
OWNER TO gpadmin;

Create function ...
DECLARE
-- standard variables
vSpReturn_code text;
Logsp oww_mart_tbls.type_log_site_process%ROWTYPE;
.....

insert into oww_mart_tbls.log_site_process(proc_id, proc_name, step_id, step_desc, step_starttime, step_endtime, step_returncode, activity_count, status_flag, status_desc)
select (logsp).*;

works.
Thanks for the help.
