How to returns multiple data with function in varray?

Question

Hi!
I have 3 rows in my table and i want the return in VARRAY, but
in my function bottom it works for only one row of my table.
I don't know how to have the return of values in 3 rows of my table,
it's possible to have multiple dimension in varray? Or another way for
having that? Because i read after in java code this result.
Now my result are :
RetVal(1)= 504053
RetVal(2)= 135058
RetVal(3)= 206734
I want like :
RetVal(1)= 504053 Melanie Brown California
RetVal(2)= 135058 John Smith Boston
RetVal(3)= 206734 Roy Smith New York
CREATE TYPE GPDEV.EMPARRAY is VARRAY(100) OF NUMBER
CREATE FUNCTION MyName RETURN EMPARRAY
AS
l_data EmpArray := EmpArray();
CURSOR c_emp IS SELECT MyTable
FROM MyRow
WHERE clientnumber is not null;
BEGIN
FOR MyTable IN c_emp LOOP
l_data.extend;
l_data(l_data.count) := MyTable.MyRow
END LOOP;
RETURN l_data;
END;
Thanks in advance for your help!

Here is one approach...
CREATE TYPE testType AS OBJECT (test_letter VARCHAR2(2), test_number NUMBER);
DECLARE
CURSOR cAAA IS
select 'a' test_letter, 1 test_number FROM DUAL UNION ALL
select 'b' test_letter, 2 test_number FROM DUAL UNION ALL
select 'c' test_letter, 3 test_number FROM DUAL;
TYPE vArray_testType is VARRAY(100) OF testType;
testArray vArray_testType:=vArray_testType();
y number:=0;
BEGIN
dbms_output.put('Adding items to varray...');
FOR rec in cAAA LOOP
y:=y+1;
testArray.extend;
testArray(y):= testType(
test_letter => rec.test_letter,
test_number=> rec.test_number);
END LOOP;
dbms_output.put_line('Done. ');
dbms_output.put_line('Print contents of varray...');
LOOP EXIT WHEN y = 0;
dbms_output.put_line(testArray(y).test_letter||' '||testArray(y).test_number);
y := y-1;
END LOOP;
dbms_output.put_line('END');
END;
