Known Causes

3 known causes
⚠️
Inconsistent Datatype
The datatype specified in the `USING` clause doesn't match or isn't implicitly convertible to the supertype's datatype. This leads to a type mismatch during compilation.
⚠️
Incorrect Attribute Count
The number of attributes defined in the `USING` clause does not correspond to the number of attributes expected by the supertype. The constructor signature becomes mismatched.
⚠️
Invalid Constructor Signature
The constructor signature implied by the `USING` clause doesn't align with the constructor expectations of the supertype, leading to an error during type creation or modification.
