No SETOF necessary :

CREATE TYPE mytype AS ( number INTEGER, blah TEXT );

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION myfunc( INTEGER ) RETURNS mytype LANGUAGE
plpgsql AS $$ DECLARE _retval mytype; BEGIN _retval.number=$1;
_retval.blah='yeah'; RETURN _retval; END;$$;

SELECT myfunc(22);
myfunc
-----------
(22,yeah)
(1 ligne)

SELECT * FROM myfunc(22);
number | blah
--------+------
22 | yeah
(1 ligne)
