Answer / babu

Functions are always called by a program and its duty is to
return a value to the calling program, on the other hand,
dbms_output is used to print something to the screen and it
would not be of any significance here.

Answer / gourvendra singh

Yes we can use the dbms_output.put_line in a function and
it will print the msg when we execute Function_name, it
will not display any value if we use the function to return
a value, consider the following code:
create or replace function abc_test return char is
a varchar2(20);
begin
select dname into a from dept where deptno=20;
dbms_output.put_line('the dept is ');
return a;
exception
when others then
a:='no dept';
dbms_output.put_line('the dept is ');
return a;
end;

this will work.
