Hi,
According to your error message, it says that you are calling sp_executesql with a VARCHAR statement, when it needs to be NVARCHAR.
For your issue, you need to find the Procedure and use NVARCHAR in declation intead of VARCHAR like below:
DECLARE @SQL NVARCHAR(300)
SET @SQL = 'SELECT TOP 1 * FROM sys.tables'
EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQL
Instead of :
DECLARE @SQL VARCHAR(300)
SET @SQL = 'SELECT TOP 1 * FROM sys.tables'
EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQL
