There are two possible causes for this message:

* A remote, packaged function or a remote-mapped, local, packaged function that does not contain a pragma with the ‘Write no Package State’ (WNPS) and ‘Read no Package State’ (RNPS) arguments references a package state.

* A remote, stand-alone function or a remote-mapped, local, stand-alone function contains a reference to a package state (reads or writes a package variable). Only local functions that are referenced in a SELECT list, VALUES clause of an INSERT statement, or SET clause of an UPDATE statement can modify a package state.
