``++CASE++`` can contain a ``++WHEN OTHERS++`` clause for various reasons: to handle unexpected values, to show that all the cases were properly considered.
For readability purpose, to help a developer to quickly find the default behavior of a ``++CASE++`` statement, it is recommended to put the ``++WHEN OTHERS++`` clause at the end of the ``++CASE++`` statement. This rule raises an issue if the ``++WHEN OTHERS++`` clause is not the last one of the ``++CASE++``'s cases.
== Noncompliant Code Example
----
CASE SY-INDEX.
WHEN OTHERS. // Noncompliant; WHEN OTHERS should be last statement
WRITE 'Unexpected result'
WHEN ONE.
WRITE 'One'.
WHEN 2.
WRITE 'Two'.
ENDCASE.
----
== Compliant Solution
----
CASE SY-INDEX.
WHEN ONE.
WRITE 'One'.
WHEN 2.
WRITE 'Two'.
WHEN OTHERS. // Compliant
WRITE 'Unexpected result'
ENDCASE.
