If every WHEN test of a SELECT statement fails, an ERROR condition is raised if the OTHERWISE statement is omitted. This can lead to the unexpected termination of the program.

Noncompliant Code Example

Compliant Solution

See

foo: proc options(main);
  declare i fixed decimal init (42);

  select (i); /* Non-Compliant - SELECT without OTHERWISE statement */
    when (0) put list ('i = 0');
    when (1) put list ('i = 1');
  end;

  put list ('Continuation'); /* This statement will not be executed */
end;
