Description

else should not be used when the last action in the then part is an exit, break, skip, quit, error.

Bad code

    procedure SomeProcedure()
    begin
        if IsAdjmtBinCodeChanged() then
            Error(AdjmtBinCodeChangeNotAllowedErr, ...)
        else
            Error(BinCodeChangeNotAllowedErr, ...);
    end;
