Dead Code

The Dead Code report captures the lines of code that will never be executed as there will be no control flow to those lines of code. This is a useful input for optimizing the application either by commenting or removing the Dead Code, thereby reducing the application footprint and improving code maintainability. The report captures the program name that contains the Dead Code along with the Dead Code percentage, paragraph and subroutine which has Dead Code, and the total number of lines of code in the program that are flagged as dead in the report.
