Answer 1

First off, why have you got a function when you have out parameters? It makes much more sense for this to be converted to a procedure.
Anyway, your issue is this:
FUNCTION biGetInstallation....
    rcInstallationCursor        tInstallationCursor;
BEGIN
END biGetInstallation;
DECLARE
TYPE tInstallationCursor IS REF CURSOR RETURN tInstallationRec;
BEGIN
END;You've declared a type of tInstallationCursor in your anonymous block, which is different to the type that is used in your function. (I assume that there is a database type for tInstallationCursor, in which case, you don't need to declare the type in your anonymous block)
