                   pErrMes      OUT VARCHAR2
                     )

Answer 1

Think you should use a Procedure, not a Function

An Oracle function can return one -and only one- value, with another syntax.

CREATE FUNCTION GetAdres(parameter1  IN NUMBER, parameter2 IN NUMBER) 
   RETURN NUMBER

In fact, you can have OUT parameters in an Oracle Function (my bad), but you need a unique return type anyway.

But

You can perfectly use multiple OUT parameters in an Oracle procedure…

So

Solution1 (and I would go for this one)

Use a procedure instead of a function

Solution2

Create a custom type and use it as the return type.

create a custom type
CREATE TYPE my_type as object
    (Adres      VARCHAR2(100), 
     ErrCode    NUMBER,
     ErrMes     VARCHAR2(250));


CREATE FUNCTION GetAdres (pCif        NUMBER,
                    pAddressno NUMBER DEFAULT 0,
                   pAdrSerino NUMBER)
  RETURN my_type;
