Pure SQL does not recognize a boolean type, although PL/SQL does. So your query does not know what datatype this function is returning..

The function works, so you could in another pl/sql block use

declare
myvar boolean;
begin
   myvar := compt_tree_profile_q.legal_user(1,1);
end;

But you can't use this function in a pure select statement.
