Difficult to say - perhaps the source of the function would help. You
don't actually mention what language you're using even.
However, I'd look for anywhere you're using ":varname" since that isn't
valid plpgsql.
Then, I'd look at the OPEN ... CURSOR ... EXECUTE form of cursor opening
(see manuals for details).
