RETURNING in stored procedure - Mailing list pgsql-novice

Hi,

I have a table
 temp (name varchar(64),  seq  bigserial)

And a stored procedure :

Create function ......
..........
Val bigint;
BEGIN:
Val:= insert into temp("hello") RETURNING seq;
END;


I am unable to assign the value returned by seq into val.
