Rule description

• Two branches in a conditional structure should not have exactly the same implementation

Non-compliant Code Example

BEGIN
	IF counter > 0 THEN
		cust_order := 1;
		message := 'Number is positive';
	ELSIF counter > 100 THEN            --Non compliant code (ElSEIF branch is having exactly the same implementation of IF branch)
		cust_order := 1;
		message := 'Number is positive';
	ELSE
		cust_order := 0;
		message := 'Number is negative';
	END IF;
END;

Compliant Code Example

BEGIN
	IF counter > 0 THEN
		cust_order := 1;
		message := 'Number is positive';
	ELSIF counter > 100 THEN            --Compliant code (ElSEIF branch is having exactly the same implementation of IF branch)
		cust_order := 2;
		message := 'Number is positive';
	ELSE
		cust_order := 0;
		message := 'Number is negative';
	END IF;
END;
