Invoke function chkfilez twice for each regex file type.
Code:
chkfilez "$SOURCE_DIR" "brs*.dat"
chkfilez "$SOURCE_DIR" "brt*.dat"

Leave the function to take parameters, don't put them inside.
Code:
for i in $1/$2..

where $1 is $SOURCE_DIR passed to chkfilez as first parameter, and one-type file regex match as $2 (so $2 in first case is brs*.dat, in second case brt*.dat).

If you want more advanced code, you will have to dive into arrays and case, this was just an example.
