This error happens when a TO_CLOB is converted to a TO_VARCHAR function. A format may be needed for BFILE/BLOB parameters.

Example Code

Input Code:

SELECT TO_CLOB('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet') FROM DUAL;

Output Code:

SELECT
/*** MSC-WARNING - MSCEWI3005 - BFILE/BLOB PARAMETERS ARE CONSIDERED BINARY, FORMAT MAY BE NEEDED ***/
TO_VARCHAR('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet') FROM DUAL;

Recommendations

• Check if outputs in the input code and converted code are equivalent and add a format parameter if needed.
