To pass schemaname as a function parameter

Hi,
I wrote a function in plpgsql, to dispaly the student list.
In a Database all schemas contains studentlist table. so I wrote the function with schemaname as a parameter(text data type). My code is like
CREATE FUNCTION disp_fn(schemaname text) AS $$
BEGIN   SELECT * FROM schemaname.studentlist;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

In the above function schemaname varaible does not taken.
Is there any way to pass schemaname as argument? Any idea would be much  appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Softlinne

Not possible in this way, use EXECUTE:

   execute 'select * from ' || schemaname || '.studentlist';


(it is a dynamic SQL, you haven't a fix tablename)

also (IMO preferred),

execute 'set search_path = public, ' || schemaname;
SELECT * FROM studentlist;
