Re: RE: RPG & recursive call

["David Morris" <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brad,

I think you are technically correct on the meaning of recursion, especially 
when 
related to a mathematical expression.  I think the term is used differently in 
programming.  If it were not, recursion would be very rare... do you really 
call 
another program directly?.  It looks like IBM's definition is the same as 
Mark's on 
the AS/400 based on the description found in message RPG8888.

        [And Brad Said:]  That ain't recursion.  Recursion is a procedure
calling itself.
