You can't call a function with out parameters in SQL. It only works in PL/SQL.
In sqlplus you'd need to call it from a begin/end block.
In reports you'd need to use a program unit.
It's generally advisable to avoid functions with out parameters for this reason.

If function returns a single value, why would you use OUT parameter anyway? If possible, get rid of it.
