I have this function which works in SQL 2008 but I need something similar for an instance of SQL 2000 but receive the error message 'Select statements included within a function cannot return data to a client.'

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.f_TotalRealizedCompensation_SP500

RETURNS int
--WITH RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT
AS
BEGIN
-- Declare the return variable here
DECLARE @Return int

SELECT AVG(ceototactcomp) FROM dbo.CompanyData
WHERE INDEXSP = 'S&P 500'

-- Return the result of the function
RETURN @Return

END
GO

SELECT @Return = AVG(ceototactcomp)
FROM dbo.CompanyData
WHERE INDEXSP = 'S&P 500'
