Previous use of 'string' (at line string) conflicts with this use
While looking for prior declarations of a variable or constant, the compiler found another object with the same name in the same scope.
Or, the headers of subprogram in a package specification and body are not identical. |
| TBD |
| PLW-05003 |
Same actual parameter(string and string) at IN and NOCOPY may have side effects
The indicated parameter was declared with the NOCOPY hint in the subprogram specification but not in the body,
or it was declared with the NOCOPY hint in the body but not in the specification. |
| TBD |
| PLW-05004 |
Identifier string is also declared in STANDARD or is a SQL builtin
The indicated identifier was also either:
- declared in package STANDARD
- a SQL built-in function
- a pseudo-column.
This situation can result in name resolution issues since the STANDARD/builtin declaration will be chosen over
the local declaration in SQL statements; however the local declaration will be chosen over the STANDARD/builtin declaration outside SQL scope. |

Shadow type generation resulted in warning string
Compilation of a table function causes the creation of internally- generated types. A problem occurred during creation of these
types which was not severe enough to prevent the creation of the types, but which may impact the usage of the table function. |
| TBD |

First parameter to pragma INLINE must be an identifier
The first parameter to the pragma INLINE must be an identifier denoting a procedure or function. |
| TBD |
| PLW-05008 |
Illegal number of arguments for pragma string
The number of arguments (actual parameters) passed to the named pragma (compiler directive) is incorrect.
A required argument was omitted from the argument list, or the pragma syntax is faulty (for example, a comma might be missing between two parameters). |
| TBD |
| PLW-05009 |
Pragma INLINE may not appear in a declaration list
Pragma INLINE applies only to the following statement, and can not appear immediately prior to a declaration. |
| TBD |
| PLW-05010 |
Duplicate pragma INLINE on procedure 'string'
Pragma INLINE was applied twice to the same procedure in the same statement. The procedure will be inlined only if all duplicates specify a control value of 'YES'. |
| TBD |
| PLW-05011 |
Pragma INLINE for procedure 'string' does not apply to any calls
A pragma INLINE was provided, but there was no call to the mentioned procedure in the next statement. |
| TBD |
| PLW-05012 |
Pragma INLINE for procedure 'string' could not be applied
A pragma INLINE(<name>, 'yes') was used, but the named procedure could not be inlined. |
| TBD |

Second parameter to pragma INLINE 'string' is not 'YES' or 'NO'
The second parameter to the pragma INLINE governs whether or not a procedure call can be inlined.
The only legal values are 'YES', meaning that the compiler should attempt to inline the call, and 'NO', meaning that the compiler must not inline the call. |
