for1 is a record type from which you can access the other columns. So
with something like

FOR for1 in select * from cm_quotainstance where ... loop

then you can access the columns in your subsequent if statements like:

if (for1.startdate > > M_COMM_CLOSE_DATE OR for1.enddate <=
M_COMM_CLOSE_DATE) ...

Look in the plpgsql section of the documentation under "Looping Through
Query Results" -- this is section 36.7.4 in the 8.0 documentation.
