Your function returns "SETOF acct_nbr_lst", and "distribution_fc.acct_nbr" seems
to be of type character varying.

PostgreSQL does not know how to compare these two types, you'll have to tell it.

Either cast "acct_nbr" to "acct_nbr_lst", or have the function return
"SETOF character varying", or (more complicated) create an operator named "="
that can compare these two data types.
