        Why is this an issue?

        An empty code block is confusing. It will require some effort from maintainers to determine if it is intentional or indicates the implementation is incomplete.

             C   99W1SCNO        IFEQ      1
             C                   EXSR      SR201
             C                   ELSE
             C* Noncompliant: is the block empty on purpose, or is code missing?
             C                   END
        
              /free
                for i = 1 to n;
                endfor;
              /end-free
        

        Removing or filling the empty code blocks takes away ambiguity and generally results in a more straightforward and less surprising code.

        Exceptions

        The rule ignores code blocks that contain comments.
