## Meaning {#meaning}

2200B is `escape_character_conflict`. The fixed 18.6 call archive has no resolved native report group in this scan.

## Messages {#messages}

No fixed PostgreSQL primary, DETAIL, HINT, or severity was confirmed in the bounded source scan. This page is definition/scan-boundary reference only; `runtime_verification` remains `not_run`.

## Diagnosis {#diagnosis}

Locate the pattern/escape parser or extension that selected the code and inspect its escape-character rules. A no-path scan is an evidence boundary, not an absence claim.

## Response {#response}

Correct the actual pattern and escape configuration according to the deployed parser after locating the component that selected the code. Do not manufacture this SQLSTATE with a generic RAISE to stand in for parser behavior, and do not infer transaction recovery from this source-only boundary.

## Versions {#versions}

The locked catalogue records this condition from 7.4 in the listed formal snapshots and 19beta3; fixed source coverage is PostgreSQL 18.6.
