help with select * from functionname() ?

Hi All
I'd like to be able to issue the command

select * from functionname();

however it seems that the parser won't accept the () on the function
name. (I'm trying to model this on chapter 9 of the programmers guide).
Is anyone able to suggest to me what i might be doing wrong?
thanks
Glenn
