CodeCop Warning AA0228

  • Article

The local method must be used; otherwise removed.

Description

The local method must be used, otherwise the method is not necessary.

Reason for the rule

Unused methods can be confusing for the reader and can cost performance to the system.

Bad code example

codeunit 10 MyCodeunit
{
    var
       RenameErr: Label 'You cannot rename';

    local procedure Method1()
    begin
       Message(RenameErr);
    end;
 
    procedure Method2()
    begin
       Error(RenameErr);
    end;
}

Good code example

codeunit 10 MyCodeunit
{
    var
       RenameErr: Label 'You cannot rename';

    procedure Method2()
    begin
       Error(RenameErr);
    end;
}

Good and bad practices for fixing the rule

Remove the unused local method from the code.
