 >> if the element is a *DIR the PGM calls itself recursively (in a new
actgrp) with the current element in input.

I'm not really clear as to what your problem is.  Are you saying that at
some point the pointer is corrupted?

One point I will make though.  Using a *PGM object and achieving recursion
through the use of *NEW is not a good method from a performance aspect if
nothing else.  I would strongly suggest you switch to using subprocedures
which _can_ be truly called recursively and which through the use of Global
variables and/or declaration of STATIC variables in the subproc can
communicate easily between the different invocations.
