Solutions

1. Too few arguments were given for the function.
2. Supply at least the required number of arguments for the function call.

When it happens

Trigger: A function call in a query supplies arguments that violate the function's signature.

Common situations: Passing the wrong number or types of arguments (e.g. untyped nulls, tuples) to HQL/SQL functions.
