RE: RPG III & Recursive Call

["York, Albert" <albert.york@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Technically I suppose you're correct. As I pointed out, there is a
performance hit as the system will not share the code in memory as it would
with a truly recursive program, so this technique should be used wisely.
However, the result is the same.

We used this technique with our menu program. We discussed using the utility
to change the bit in the program to make it truly recursive but decided this
presented a potential maintenance problem and might not be supported in
future releases.

We only use the program in QTEMP for the second (and subsequent) call, which
are relatively rare, so it actually works pretty well.

Actually, I call this A PARENT and CHILD RECURSION.
