PLS-00508: The expression in a RETURN statement cannot be a type..

Answer / guest

Cause: A datatype specifier was used instead of an
expression in the RETURN statement of a user-defined
function, as shown in the example below. Do not confuse the
RETURN statement, which sets the function identifier to the
result value, with the RETURN clause, which specifies the
datatype of the result value. FUNCTION credit-rating
(acct_no NUMBER) RETURN BOOLEAN IS BEGIN ... RETURN NUMBER;
-- should be an expression END;

Action: Replace the datatype specifier in the RETURN
statement with an appropriate expression.
