I am attempting to use a stored procedure to pull a report from the
database. My questions is if its even possible to pull the data using a
function and then treat the returned data as a normal recordset with the web
pages.

The actual function looks like

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION submissionreport(integer, date, text) RETURNS
RECORD AS'

DECLARE
somekey ALIAS for $1;
somedate ALIAS for $2;
somesortorder ALIAS for $3;
submission RECORD;
BEGIN

SELECT INTO submission (... stuff goes here)
ORDER BY sort;

RETURN submission;
END;
' LANGUAGE plpgsql;

The error being returned is in the web pages"
SQLState: 08S01 Native Error Code: 1 Error while executing the query;
ERROR: cannot display a value of type record"

Your return value has to be of a specific type
("record" is too generic). Every table automatically
has a type created, which each of its rows conforms
to. Or you could create a custom type, using "create
type".
