          Why is this an issue?

          More Info

          Leaving a CATCH block empty means that the exception in question is neither handled nor passed forward to callers for handling at a higher level. Suppressing errors rather than handling them could lead to unpredictable system behavior and should be avoided.

          Noncompliant code example

            try.
              if ABS( NUMBER ) > 100.
                write / 'Number is large'.
              endif.
              catch CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_ERROR into OREF.
            endtry.
          

          Compliant solution

            try.
              if ABS( NUMBER ) > 100.
                write / 'Number is large'.
              endif.
            catch CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_ERROR into OREF.
              write / OREF->GET_TEXT( ).
            endtry.
          

          Exceptions

          When a block contains a comment, it is not considered to be empty.
