RPG IV procedures support recursion.  RPG programs, however do not.  If   
you can't use an RPG IV procedure, perhaps you can take advantage of CL,   
which does support recursion.  For instance, I once wrote a small   
file-driven menu system (who hasn't? :) ).  To allow nested menus, the   
menu display program was a CL program that called an RPG program.  The   
RPG program retrieved the menu items from a file and displaying them in a   
subfile.  The RPG program returned the user's choice (the program to   
call) to the CL program.  If the choice was another menu, the CL program   
would call itself.

Is there any way I can call a RPG program recursively?
