Explicitly undefined REFERENCE - ISO:C90-7.9.6.2 Formatted input/output functions

A length modifier is being used in conjunction with a '%c' conversion specifier in a scanf format string.

Length modifiers are used in conjunction with integer and floating conversion specifiers but not with '%c'.

For example: 


/*PRQA S 336,602,1302,1307,2017,3122,3132,3200,3209,3335,3408,3602,3625 ++*/

#include <stdio.h>

extern void foo(void)
{
    char buf[20];

    scanf("%10c",  buf);                   /*              */

    scanf("%10hc",  buf);                  /* Message 0200 */
    scanf("%10lc",  buf);                  /* Message 0200 */
}
