please help

i have a query so far is below, i am later going to turn this into a fuction and have a input parameter fromt he user with either as T or V.

my code is :

declare @x varchar (10)

set @x = 'V'

if @x='V'

begin --1

select name
from sys.views
where is_ms_shipped = 0
end --1
else
Begin --2
if @x = 'T'

begin--3
select name

from sys.tables
where is_ms_shipped = 0
end--3


end

-- which works fine and gives me back

vAdditionalContactInfo
vEmployee
vEmployeeDepartment
vEmployeeDepartmentHistory
vIndividualCustomer
vIndividualDemographics
vJobCandidate
etc
ect

but i need the answer to be

vAdditionalContactInfo;vEmployee;vEmployeeDepartment;vIndividualCustomer;vIndividualDemographics;vJobCandidate;ect;ect

--------------------- question-------

so i am trying to build a table line fuction, so how do i do that??

isnt it enough to use INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES which contains both tables and views
