Use 

	select * from clientRec('tmpg60') as (column list);

If you declare the function as returning RECORD, you will need to
provide an AS clause that identifies the column set the records will
contain.  Without this, the parser has no idea what to expand "*" to.
See the example in section 7.2.1.4 here:
