Subject: Probs "compiling" a function

Greetings, Having probs just "compiling" this fn and it comes back with a very
stark error msg which is below. I'm using version 7.1.3

I run the script as:
\i procedures/zff

and get the error msg:
psql:procedures/zff:51: ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "b"

Line 51 is the line that starts LANGUAGE....

And the script is:
CREATE FUNCTION bsub_insert(varchar,varchar,varchar,varchar,varchar,
  varchar,varchar,varchar,varchar,varchar,bool,date,int2,int4,varchar,int4)
RETURNS integer AS '
DECLARE
    tmp_bsub	RECORD;
    t_sub_id2	INTEGER;
    t_class_sun INTEGER;
    p_band_nm	ALIAS FOR $1;
BEGIN
    IF p_band_nm IS NULL THEN
        RETURN 0;
    END IF;
    IF $3 IS NULL THEN
        RETURN 0;
    END IF;
    IF $4 IS NULL THEN
        RETURN 0;
    END IF;
    IF $11 IS NULL THEN
        RETURN 0;
    END IF;
    IF $12 IS NULL THEN
        RETURN 0;
    END IF;
    IF $15 IS NULL THEN
        RETURN 0;
    END IF;

    SELECT INTO tmp_bsub *
    FROM sub_class
    WHERE sub_class.class_ds = upper($15);
    IF NOT FOUND THEN
        RETURN -1;
    END IF;
    t_class_sun := tmp_bsub.class_sun;

    INSERT INTO sub(band_commnty_nm,street_no,first_nm,surname,home_phone_no,
      work_phone_no,mobile_phone_no,email_tx,web_addr_tx,sub_comment,
      voluntr_fl,sub_expiry_dt,card_cnt,receipt_no,sub_type_ind,
      class_sun,street_sun)
    VALUES(upper($1),$2,upper($3),upper($4),$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,upper($10),$11,
      $12,$13,$14,/'B/',t_class_sun,$16);

    GET DIAGNOSTICS t_sub_id2 = RESULT_OID;
    SELECT INTO tmp_bsub *
    FROM sub
    WHERE oid = t_sub_id2;

    RETURN tmp_bsub.sub_no;
END; '
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

Thanks for any help as this is driving me made and I've rewritten it checked all
the b's and compared it to other fns I've written and nothing I'm using here I
haven't already used.

Cheers...Gordon
