Arithmetic type - Assignment

This message is issued whenever a constant of essentially signed type undergoes an assigning conversion to type char.

For example: 


/*PRQA S 1-9999 ++*/
/*PRQA S 1292 --*/

void foo (char b);

char f1292 (void)
{
  char pca = 0;             /* 1292 */

  foo (1L);                 /* 1292 */

  pca = 0LL;                /* 1292 */

  return 1;                 /* 1292 */
}
