## Description

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

## <span style="color:FireBrick">Bad code</span>

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

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