🆓Warning
Try to label your EXIT WHEN statements.
Reason
It's a good alternative for comments, especially for nested loops to name the loop to exit.
Example
Non-Compliant Example
declare
co_init_loop constant simple_integer := 0;
co_increment constant simple_integer := 1;
co_exit_value constant simple_integer := 3;
co_outer_text constant types_up.short_text_type := 'Outer Loop counter is ';
co_inner_text constant types_up.short_text_type := ' Inner Loop counter is ';
l_outerlp pls_integer;
l_innerlp pls_integer;
begin
l_outerlp := co_init_loop;
<<outerloop>>
loop
l_innerlp := co_init_loop;
l_outerlp := nvl(l_outerlp,co_init_loop) + co_increment;
<<innerloop>>
loop
l_innerlp := nvl(l_innerlp,co_init_loop) + co_increment;
sys.dbms_output.put_line(co_outer_text
|| l_outerlp
|| co_inner_text
|| l_innerlp);
exit when l_innerlp = co_exit_value;
end loop innerloop;
exit when l_innerlp = co_exit_value;
end loop outerloop;
end;
