"CX_ROOT" should not be caught

Code Smell

Because CX_ROOT is the base exception type, catching it directly probably casts a wider net than you intended. Catching CX_ROOT could mask far more serious system errors that your CATCH logic was intended to deal with.

Some smaller, more specific exception type should be caught instead.

Noncompliant Code Example

Compliant Solution

    if ABS( NUMBER ) > 100.
      write / 'Number is large'.
    endif.

  endtry.
