Re: RE: Can an RPG module call another RPG module?

I'm certainly no expert, but I know from experience that you cannot call
an ILE program from itself UNLESS it is going to run in a new (i.e.
different) activation group. I have successfully had up to 5 levels of
recursion of a program compiled in *NEW, and that was just because of the
limits of what I was using it for (pretty handy, though :-)

I did try using a module and CALLB, but that definitely didn't work. I've
never tried with a procedure.
