Haven't done a whole lot of plsql returning records, only those based on
a query. I was wondering, can I build a record from the results of the
query using other values for some fields in the record? I know 'return
next' requires a record and want to build my own record to include some
argument values in the record. I have my record declared and my query
results in that record. So, how do you construct a record in a function?
Below is my work...

  period := $1;
  rep := $2;
  FOR dateval IN SELECT (period::date+(s||'month')::interval)::date from 
generate_series(0,11)s
  loop
    SELECT INTO picks
      COUNT(public.view_pick_1_data.units)::numeric AS units,
        CURRENT_DATE AS "date",
        'x'::text AS some_text_field

That's the simplest way.
Alternatively, you can use CREATE TYPE to make the required row-type and fill a variable of that type.
