when I worked with T-SQL this wasn't possible - stored procedure
should return recordset or multirecord set or OUT variables. And it
was solution. When I would returns some similar like you, I had to
return two recordsets.

i'm migrating to postgresql and i have stored procedures like

You cannot return integer and recordset from function now. There is
one workaround, you can return set of cursors.
