## Description
`else` should not be used when the last action in the `then` part is an `exit`, `break`, `skip`, `quit`, `error`.
## Bad code
```al
procedure SomeProcedure()
begin
if IsAdjmtBinCodeChanged() then
Error(AdjmtBinCodeChangeNotAllowedErr, ...)
else
Error(BinCodeChangeNotAllowedErr, ...);
end;
```
## Good code
```al
procedure SomeProcedure()
begin
if IsAdjmtBinCodeChanged() then
Error(AdjmtBinCodeChangeNotAllowedErr, ...)
Error(BinCodeChangeNotAllowedErr, ...);
end;
```
