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. :(

It doesn't work.   It fails with an RNX8888 error which says that it
cannot be called recursively..

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