provide usage details.

I can't imagine anywhere where this would be legal.

Code you wrote looks like Oracle Reports. That tool lets you use substitution variable in query, and it works just fine.

But, this is Oracle Forms and - as far as I can tell - such a syntax isn't allowed here. It means that you'll either have to use two different queries (one for IF, and another for ELSE), or try to rewrite code so that everything is done in the same query. Something like this:

select po_no
from po, po_det
where po_id = p_det_id
  and (po_no = :block.po_no or po_no is null)
