create or replace function test (B_DEV.B_DEV_ITEM_FILENAME in varchar2, v_alert in number)
if :B_DEV.B_DEV_ITEM_FILENAME like '%.fmb'
then return true;
message('Testing 7');
message('Testing 7');
else set_alert_property ('ALR_MSG_BOX_2', alert_message_text, 'Incorrect file type selected.');
v_alert := SHOW_ALERT ('ALR_MSG_BOX_2');
message('Testing 6');
message('Testing 6');
return false;
message('Testing 5');
message('Testing 5');
end if;
the following error occurs:
error 103 at line 22, column 1
encountered the symbol 'CREATE' when expecting one of the following:
begin case declare and exception exit for goto if loop mod
null progma rise return select update while with
<an identifier><a double-quoted delimited-identifier>

Furthermore, syntax is invalid. You miss BEGIN-END. A function must return a value (and you have to explicitly say so). MESSAGE won't execute after RETURN (so you won't see any message).
Perhaps you'd want to check documentation (10g's Using PL/SQL Subprograms and, possibly, other function-related chapters).
