VBC00049 — Else without If

Severity: Error · Family: VBC (parser / concrete syntax tree) · Source metadata: VBSyntaxErrorInfo

An Else statement belongs to no block If.

An Else statement on a line of its own belongs to the block If it is written in: where none is open, it belongs to nothing.

MS-VBA reports the same error, with the same message (recorded in Excel).

This code is raised by the parser, at the statement that does not fit, when the grammar refuses a procedure whose blocks do not match. RD-VBA reports it for every procedure; MS-VBA stops at the first.

How it is raised

Situation	Example	Resolution
An `Else` with no block `If`.	`Else` alone in a procedure	Remove it, or write the `If … Then` it belongs to.
