Create a report with PL/SQL

Question

Hi,
I have two pages: the first page contains two text fields and a submit button. In the first text field you can enter a name and in the second field you can enter a number. That means you can search a record by name or by number.
In the second page the report is generated depending on the used text field of the first page.
I tried to to define a region source code with PL/SQL for the report, but nothing appears on the report page although the record I was looking for exists in the database.
begin
if :ENTERNAME IS NOT NULL then
FOR item IN (select "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ID" as "PI_ID",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_NAME" as "PI_NAME",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_VORNAME" as "PI_VORNAME",
from     "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION" "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"
where      upper("TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_NAME") like upper(:ENTERNAME||'%'))
loop
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('First name = ' || item.PI_NAME ||
', Last name = ' || item.PI_VORNAME);
end loop;
end if;
end;

Hi,
ok thanks. I tried to use the SQL-Report with type "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL-Query)" and made a few changes in the SQL-Statement so that a second table is also included:
declare My_select varchar2(500);
begin
if :TEXTEINGABENAME IS NOT NULL then
My_select:='SELECT
"TB_ADRESSE"."A_PLZ" "A_PLZ",
"TB_ADRESSE"."A_ORT" "A_ORT",
"TB_ADRESSE"."A_ID" "A_ID",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_MITGLIEDSNUMMER" "PI_MITGLIEDSNUMMER",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_NAME" "PI_NAME",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_VORNAME" "PI_VORNAME",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ERGAENZUNG" "PI_ERGAENZUNG",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ERGAENZUNG1" "PI_ERGAENZUNG1",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ID" "PI_ID"
FROM
"TB_ADRESSE" "TB_ADRESSE",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION" "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"
WHERE "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ID" = "TB_ADRESSE"."A_F_PERSON_INSTITUTION"
AND upper("TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_NAME") like upper(:TEXTEINGABENAME||"%")';
else
if :TEXTMITGLIEDSNUMMER is not null then
My_select:='SELECT
"TB_ADRESSE"."A_PLZ" "A_PLZ",
"TB_ADRESSE"."A_ORT" "A_ORT",
"TB_ADRESSE"."A_ID" "A_ID",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_MITGLIEDSNUMMER" "PI_MITGLIEDSNUMMER",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_NAME" "PI_NAME",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_VORNAME" "PI_VORNAME",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ERGAENZUNG" "PI_ERGAENZUNG",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ERGAENZUNG1" "PI_ERGAENZUNG1",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ID" "PI_ID"
FROM
"TB_ADRESSE" "TB_ADRESSE",
"TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION" "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"
WHERE "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ID" = "TB_ADRESSE"."A_F_PERSON_INSTITUTION"
AND upper("TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_MITGLIEDSNUMMER") like upper(:TEXTMITGLIEDSNUMMER||"%")';
end if;
end if;
return My_select;
end;
When I try to apply changes an error message occurs:
"Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing. The query can not be parsed, the cursor is not yet open or a function returning a SQL query returned without a value."
