rspec/rules/S1763/plsql/rule.adoc

Jump statements (``++EXIT++``, ``++CONTINUE++``, ``++RETURN++``, ``++RAISE++``, and ``++RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR++``), move control flow out of the current code block. So any statements that come after a jump are dead code. 


This rule detects for statements that follow:

* ``++EXIT++`` without a ``++WHEN++``
* ``++CONTINUE++`` without a ``++WHEN++``
* ``++RETURN++``
* ``++RAISE++``
* ``++RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR++``

== Noncompliant Code Example

----
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON

BEGIN
  LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('This will be printed out');
    EXIT;

    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('This will NEVER be printed out'); -- Non-Compliant
  END LOOP;
END;

== Compliant Solution

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON

BEGIN
  LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('This will be printed out');
    EXIT;
