illegal assignment from list to list

global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List Parlist) {

if(Parlist != null && !Parlist.isEmpty())
{
Map maprecTypewithId = new Map(); 
List listPARToUpdate = [select id,Name from recordType where SObjectType = 'Price_Authorization_Request__c'];
for(RecordType rec : listPARToUpdate )
{
maprecTypewithId.put(rec.Name,rec.id);
}

How can I avoid my illegal assignment of lists? Also, where would I specify a batchable size of 190?

Please update your code like below 
global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List<Sobject> Parlist) 
{
	if(Parlist != null && !Parlist.isEmpty())
	{
		Map<string,id> maprecTypewithId = new Map<string,id>(); 
		
		for(RecordType rec : [select id, DeveloperName from recordType where SObjectType = 'Price_Authorization_Request__c'])
		{
			maprecTypewithId.put(rec.DeveloperName,rec.id);
		}
	}
}

Hi Michele,

Your are defining list and map in a wrong manner so update your code as below. 
global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List Parlist) {
	if(Parlist != null && !Parlist.isEmpty()){
		Map<string,id> maprecTypewithId = new Map<string,id>(); 
		for(RecordType rec : [select id,Name from recordType where SObjectType = 'Price_Authorization_Request__c']){
			maprecTypewithId.put(rec.Name,rec.id);
		}
	}
}
And for creating and executing batch classes please refer this link (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_batch_interface.htm).

[If you got answer from my post please mark it as solution.]

Thanks,

Hi Michele,
Although name shouldn't be cause of the error but you can use developername instead. Please try this. Let me know if problem still persists.
