As the message says, in pl/pgsql you need to specify a destination for
the returned data:
create or replace function....
as
$$
declare
my_value ....
begin
select function_b() into my_value;
(etc)
If you don't need the return value of function_b(), or if it returns
void, then use PERFORM instead:
perform function_b();
