The same way you'd call it in PL/SQL. Most forms code is PL/SQL.
Have you even tried to call it?

"7788" would probably be a form item name, such as

:block.sum_sal := xxx_sal(:block.empno);

I see at least two fundamental problems.

1. You have no exception handler
2. wouldn't empno be unique in this table? If so, what is the point of a SUM?

What exception would you handle? SUM itself handles quite a few of them (such as several records for an employee in a table or no employee with that EMPNO).

I know, my 2 points are mutually exclusive. I was assuming that he didn't want SUM and just wanted to salary, which would need an exception handler.
Then I also pointed out the SUM may have been in error?
I was trying to find a way to point them out separately. I failed Sad
