PL/SQL is server code and executes inside a db server process. It does not have access to the client's devices (keyboard/display) in order to read and write from/to the client.
Thus your report will need to be created by the server code in server memory - and the client will need to read the report and display it.
3 basic options.
Use DBMS_OUTPUT. This is a server side array of text data. However, other code could be using it to for debug and trace messages, and this will mess up your report.
Use DBMS_LOB. Create a CLOB and write the report to this CLOB. Return this CLOB to the client for it to display the report.
Use a PL/SQL pipeline that returns report lines as rows.
