%.*ls is not a parameter for procedure %.*ls.

Error Message:
Msg 8145, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_dboption, Line 0
%.*ls is not a parameter for procedure %.*ls.

Severity level:
16.

Description:
This error message appears when you try to use an invalid parameter for a system-supplied stored procedure.

Consequences:
The T-SQL statement can be parsed, but causes the error at runtime.

Resolution:
Errors of the Severity Level 16 are generated by the user and can be fixed by the SQL Server user. The statement cannot be executed this way. SQL Server system-supplied stored procedures only except their fixed set of mandatory and optional parameters.

Versions:
All versions of SQL Server.

Example(s):
USE Northwind;
EXEC sp_dboption N’Northwind’, @updateusage = ‘TREU’

Remarks:
In the above example we try to call the system procedure sp_dboption with the invalid parameter @updateusage. This raises the error.
