"In any case, the longest possible character string that can be stored

I don't think EXECUTEing sets FOUND to true. Try:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
  DATOGRANDE(TEXT)
RETURNS BOOLEAN AS $$
BEGIN
  INSERT INTO FUNCDATOGRANDE VALUES (DEFAULT,$1);
  IF FOUND THEN
    RETURN TRUE;
  ELSE
    RETURN FALSE;
  END IF;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE 'PLPGSQL';
