Function returns only 1 value
BUT you can return multiple value Indireclty..
1) By returning an result set -

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION GET_DEPT_INFO (P_DEPTNO IN NUMBER) RETURN SYS_REFCURSOR
AS
V_RC SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
OPEN V_RC FOR SELECT DEPTNO, DNAME, LOC FROM DEPT WHERE DEPTNO = P_DEPTNO;
RETURN V_RC;
END;

SQL> VAR RESULTSET REFCURSOR;
SQL> EXEC :RESULTSET := GET_DEPT_INFO(10)

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> PRINT :RESULTSET

DEPTNO DNAME LOC
---------- -------------- -------------
10 ACCOUNTING NEW YORK

SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION OUTMODE_EXAMPLE (P_DEPTNO NUMBER, P_DNAME OUT VARCHAR2)
2 RETURN NUMBER
3 AS
4 BEGIN
5 SELECT DNAME INTO P_DNAME FROM DEPT WHERE DEPTNO = P_DEPTNO;
6 RETURN NULL;
7 END;
