how to call function in execute sql

Just as you would call it in a 'standard' sql environment. What is your exact problem?

No values return when passing Execute Sql

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION return_hello(p_name VARCHAR2)
RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
m_return VARCHAR2(1000) := NULL;
BEGIN
m_return := 'HELLO ' || p_name || ' !!';

RETURN m_return;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
RETURN NULL;
END;

You only execute the command with the execute SQL operator, there is no return option in this case.

So it will create your function but in order to use it you'll have to use the Read database operator and then call your created function.  This operator has the output option to show the results so you need to combine the execute and read operators.
