== Why is this an issue? When the line immediately after a conditional has neither an enclosing `BEGIN...END` block nor indentation, the intent of the code is unclear and perhaps not what is executed. Additionally, such code is confusing to maintainers. [source,sql] ---- IF @condition -- Noncompliant EXEC doTheThing; EXEC doTheOtherThing; -- Was the intent to call this function unconditionally? ---- It becomes even more confusing and bug-prone if lines get commented out. [source,sql] ---- IF @condition -- Noncompliant -- EXEC doTheThing; EXEC doTheOtherThing; -- Was the intent to call this function conditionally? ---- Indentation alone or together with `BEGIN...END` block makes the intent clear. [source,sql] ---- IF @condition EXEC doTheThing; EXEC doTheOtherThing; -- Clear intent to call this function unconditionally IF @condition BEGIN EXEC doTheThing; END; EXEC doTheOtherThing; -- Clear intent to call this function unconditionally ---- This rule raises an issue if the line controlled by a conditional has the same indentation as the conditional and is not enclosed in a `BEGIN...END` block. ifdef::env-github,rspecator-view[] ''' == Implementation Specification (visible only on this page) include::../message.adoc[] include::../highlighting.adoc[] ''' == Comments And Links (visible only on this page) include::../comments-and-links.adoc[] endif::env-github,rspecator-view[]
