== Why is this an issue?
|
|
|
|
Nested control flow statements ``++IF++``, ``++CASE++``, ``++DO++``, ``++LOOP++``, ``++SELECT++``, ``++WHILE++`` and ``++PROVIDE++`` are often key ingredients in creating
|
|
what's known as "Spaghetti code". This code smell can make your program difficult to understand and maintain.
|
|
|
|
When numerous control structures are placed inside one another, the code becomes a tangled, complex web.
|
|
This significantly reduces the code's readability and maintainability, and it also complicates the testing process.

|
|

The following example demonstrates the behavior of the rule with the default threshold of 3 levels of nesting:

WRITE sy-index.
