Try to write a Format Trigger on those columns. As they return BOOLEAN, you could simply
return (:param_value = 'YES');

"Format trigger" can be found in column's property palette window. By default, it looks like this:
function F_kpc_OIBFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
  
  return (TRUE);
end;

If it returns TRUE, column will be displayed. Otherwise, it will not.

Now, depending on parameter's value, you could write it as follows:
if :param_value = 'YES' then
   return (TRUE);
else
   return (FALSE);
end;

Or, shorter, simply
return (:param_value = 'YES');
which means: if parameter's value equals YES, condition is true and TRUE will be returned (and column displayed). In any other case (which means anything but YES), it will return FALSE and column wouldn't be displayed.

Create a formula column that returns a CHAR (which would be the whole message, i.e. "3 does not exist"). Display it in Layout.

A formula column, as I've said.

It would, actually, be something like 
  l_msg varchar2(100);
begin
  select null
    into l_msg
    from emp e
    where e.number = :num;

  return (l_msg);
exception
  when no_data_found then
    l_msg := to_char(:num) || ' does not exist in the table';
    return (l_msg);
end;
