PLS-00397

Type mismatch in arguments to IN

Cause

In a test for set membership such as X IN (Y, Z), the expressions X, Y, and Z do not match in datatype, and it is unclear which implicit conversion is required to correct the mismatch.


Action

Change the expressions so that their datatypes match. You might want to use datatype conversion functions.
