The problem is the to_date(...) - the value is already a date so there isn't a
to_date that takes a date. You can also remove the timestamp casts:
select into var1 ($1::date -
(case when extract(DOW from $1) = 0
then 6
else (extract(DOW from $1) - 1 ) end
)
);
If you put your function in a text file and create it with psql -f you can
pinpoint errors more easily.
In this case, the $2 was complaining about the second (expected) paramater to
to_date I think.
