Perhaps, to_char is not being used correctly.
You could try:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/functions-formatting.html
psql> \df  -- to list all of avaliable functions to see if another one will work

or you could try:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/sql-expressions.html#SQL-SYNTAX-TYPE-CASTS
CAST (integer 1234 AS char)

But it is hard to say what the actual problem is with out seeing your function.
