Why is this an issue?
Having all branches in an EVALUATE or IF chain with the same implementation is an error. Either a copy-paste error was
made and something different should be executed, or there shouldn’t be an EVALUATE/IF chain at all.
Noncompliant code example
EVALUATE X *> Noncompliant
WHEN 1
PERFORM SECTION1
WHEN OTHER
PERFORM SECTION1
END-EVALUATE.
IF X = 1 THEN *> Noncompliant
PERFORM SECTION1
ELSE
PERFORM SECTION1
END-IF.
Exceptions
Note that this rule does not apply to IF chains without ELSE-s, or to EVALUATE-s without WHEN
OTHER clauses.
IF X = 1 THEN *> //no issue, this could have been done on purpose to make the code more readable
PERFORM SECTION1
ELSE-IF X = 2 THEN
PERFORM SECTION1
END-IF.
