That certainly won't work; you can't concatenate two block items (doesn't make sense).

select fname ||' '|| lname
  into :block1.ename
  from empl
  where id = :block1.eid

looks like something that might work. If you aren't satisfied with it, please, post a screenshot and explain what you'd like to have as a result.

ORA-01403 indicates that no data has been found, i.e. SELECT returned no rows.

As Forms' triggers are PL/SQL, you can handle that situation in its EXCEPTION section, such as

begin
  select fname ||' '|| lname
  into :block1.ename
  from empl
  where id = :block1.eid;

exception
  when no_data_found then
    :block1.ename := 'Unknown';
end;

Or, you could use an aggregate function which will suppress that error message, but I believe you'd rather use the first (EXCEPTION) option as it clearly shows what's going on:

select max(fname ||' '|| lname)
  into :block1.ename
  from empl
  where id = :block1.eid
