Progress compile option 'requireReturnValues' fails with error throwing

I have set the compile option requireReturnValues="Error".

I tried to compile the following example code but it doesn't pass the option:

METHOD PUBLIC LOGICAL checkValue(i_cValue AS CHAR):
    IF i_cValue <> ? THEN DO:
        RETURN TRUE.
    END.
    
    UNDO, THROW NEW Progress.Lang.AppError("Invalid value!").
END METHOD.

If I rearrange the code, by moving RETURN TRUE. into the end, it works as intended.

Is there any other way to make it work?

Solution 
  • METHOD PUBLIC LOGICAL checkValue(i_cValue AS CHAR):
    IF i_cValue = ? THEN DO:
        UNDO, THROW NEW Progress.Lang.AppError("Invalid value!").
    END.
    
    RETURN TRUE.
END METHOD.

    It seems that for now the only way is to refactor the code to throw errors before returning a value in the end.
