PL/SQL proc and select statement

I have a select statement that I execute from the OCI -based client. Rather then building "select * from dual" (real select is lot more complex than that - about 30 lines )
in the client, I'd like to put it in procedure and call the procedure from the client. That will allow me to change logic in select without updating client programs.
How can I create a procedure for that? If I can not, what would be an alternative?
In sybase or MSSQL I could do the following: create proc A_Proc as select * from dual; In oracle I get an error: "INTO is required for this select statement" What would be the way to do it in Oracle?
