The message says that your declaration of a function is unexpected.

Sure enough, that isn't an expected place for a function definition.

And that is pretty explicit that functions can only be declared in the prolog.
You have:

.... which doesn't have the declaration in the prolog, but in the
middle of the query.
So I think the error message is quite justified.
I hope this helps.
