## Description

The `end else` pair should always appear on the same line.

## Bad code

```al
    if OppEntry.Find('-') then
        if SalesCycleStage.Find('-') then begin
            ...
        end
        else
        begin
            ... 
        end;
```

## Good code

```al
    if OppEntry.Find('-') then
        if SalesCycleStage.Find('-') then begin
            ...
        end else begin
            ...
        end;
```
