Error Message:
Msg 227, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
“%.*ls” is not a valid function, property, or field.

Severity level:
15.

Description:
This error message appears when you specify an invalid function, property, or field in a statement.

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

Resolution:
Errors of the Severity level 15 are generated by the user and can be fixed by the SQL Server user. The statement cannot be run this way. All functions, properties, or fields must be valid in a statement

Versions:
All versions of SQL Server.

Example(s):
DECLARE @xml xml;
SET @xml = ‘<Result />’;
SELECT
    @xml.queri(‘for $a in(1, 2), $b in(3, 4)
    where
        $a < $b
    return sum($a + $b)’) as XML;

Remarks:
In the above example we try to invoke the invalid method  queri of them xml data type in our statement. This raises the error.
