Msg 216, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Parameters were not supplied for the function ‘%.*ls’.
Severity level:
16.
Description:
This error message appears when you don’t supply a value expected by a user-defined function.
Consequences:
The T-SQL statement can be parsed, but causes the error at runtime.
Resolution:
Error of the Severity Level 16 are generated by the user and can be fixed by the SQL Server user.

All versions of SQL Server
Example(s):
USE Northwind
GO
DROP FUNCTION dbo.BogusOrder
GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.BogusOrder
(@OrderID INT)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
SELECT OrderID, CustomerID
FROM dbo.Orders
WHERE OrderID = @OrderID
GO
SELECT * FROM dbo.BogusOrder
Remarks:
The above function expects the parameter @OrderID. Because a value for this parameter was not supplied in the function cal, the error is raised.
