Return Record

I'm not clear on how to handle returning a record from a function.
I have planned a function that is handed two strings and returns two
integers. I need to return errors that satisfy the return type. At the
moment my "RETURN 0;" lines result in "return type mismatch..." errors.

Thanks for any help.
