as
begin
insert @funtab
select a.issue_id,a.par_amount 
from asserts as a, issue as i, issuer_rating_history h, deal d
where h.as_of_date = @as_of_date and

as
begin
insert @funtab
select a.issue_id,a.par_amount 
from asserts as a, issue as i, issuer_rating_history h, deal d

Hello,
See MSDN
Differences Between SQL Server Compact and SQL Server => "User-defined functions and full text:
Not supported" in SQL CE, so you can not create a function as in SQL Server.
