That's why I restated the question as 'the main procedure of an ILE RPG
program' so that you wouldn't choke the term "module".   Apparently,
it didn't work. :(
Ha!, I guess not.  Good try, though.

So, that answers the question.   A subprocedure can be called recursively.
A main procedure cannot, even if it is not the entry procedure.

There is probably static storage allocated by the compiler that more than
one instance of the program cannot share.
