PL/SQL Region Source

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to link my region source code to a select list button. I've created this PL|SQL anonymous block :
DECLARE
query varchar2(32767);     -- query
where varchar2(4000);      -- where clause
boolean varchar2(1) := 'N';      -- identifies if where clause exists
BEGIN
query := ' SELECT "ID", '||
     '      "PROVINCE", '||
     '      "SOIL_CODE", '||
     '      "MODIFIER", '||
     '      "LU", '||
     '      "LAYER_NO", '||
     '     "UDEPTH", '||
     ' "LDEPTH", '||
     '     "HZN_LIT", '||
     '     "HZN_MAS", '||
     '     "HZN_SUF", '||
     '     "HZN_MOD", '||
     '     "COFRAG", '||
     '     "DOMSAND", '||
     '     "VFSAND", '||
     '     "TSAND", '||
     '     "TSILT", '||
     '     "TCLAY", '||
     '     "ORGCARB", '||
     '     "PHCA", '||
     '     "PH2", '||
     '     "BASE", '||
     '     "CEC", '||
     '     "KSAT", '||
     '     "KP0", '||
     '     "KP10", '||
     '     "KP33", '||
     '     "KP1500", '||
     '     "BD", '||
     '     "EC", '||
     '     "CACO3", '||
     '     "VONPOST", '||
     '     "WOOD", '||
     '     "SOILTYPE"'||
     ' FROM "#OWNER#"."SLF_CANADA" ';
IF :P6_LANDUSE_QUERY = '1'
     THEN
     where := 'LU = "A"';
     boolean := 'Y';
END IF;
IF :P6_LANDUSE_QUERY = '2'
     THEN
     where := 'LU = "N"';
     boolean := 'Y';
END IF;
IF boolean = 'Y'
     THEN
     query := query || ' WHERE '|| where;
END IF;
RETURN query;
END;
The region type is set to SQL Query (PL|SQL function returning query). Then I run the application I receive this error:
ORA-06550: line 4, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "WHERE" when expecting one of the following: begin function package pragma procedure subtype type use form current cursor ORA-06550: line 5, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "BOOLEAN" ORA-06550: line 47, column 2: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "WHERE" when expecting one of the following: begin case declare exit for goto if loop mod null pragma raise return
I've tried many other approaches but I'm at my wits end. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Patrick

Patrick - I'd avoid using reserved words like BOOLEAN and WHERE as variable names.
