subprogram string returns without value at line string

Cause

A function terminated without a return value. RETURN statements with values are required for all PL/SQL functions.


Action

Inspect function source code to ensure that every RETURN statement returns a value and that a function does not terminate by executing its END statement. Notice that this message may appear at the call site for a function if the function call was inlined and if the called function did not terminate properly.
