The following statements are valid in a function:

Assignment statements.

Control-of-Flow statements except TRY...CATCH statements.

DECLARE statements defining local data variables and local cursors.

SELECT statements that contain select lists with expressions that assign values to local variables.

Cursor operations referencing local cursors that are declared, opened, closed, and deallocated in the function. Only FETCH statements that assign values to local variables using the INTO clause are allowed; FETCH statements that return data to the client are not allowed.

INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements modifying local table variables.

EXECUTE statements calling extended stored procedures.
