Arithmetic type - Assignment

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

For example: 


/*PRQA S 1-9999 ++*/
/*PRQA S 1293 --*/

void foo (char b);

char f1293 (void)
{
  char pca = 0U;            /* 1293 */

  foo (1U);                 /* 1293 */

  pca = 0UL;                /* 1293 */

  return 0ULL;              /* 1293 */
}
