My apologies if this is in the docs and I missed it, but is there a PL/pgSQL function equivalent for the pglib function PQtransactionStatus (i.e., a way to find out if we're in an open transaction block, and if that transaction is in an error status)?

A pl/pgsql function *always* executes within a transaction.

If an error occurs while that function is executing you can catch the exception (see the "Trapping Errors" section of the pl/pgsql docs).

If an error occurs before the function executes then no other statements will be executed.
