>> Can we call a RPGLE program from itself I mean recursive call ... Short answer: No - RPG _programs_ cannot be called recursively. Longer answer: RPG Subprocedures _are_ designed to be called recursively. SO if you can convert your code to a subprocedure the answer is Yes> Third answer: The use of Activation Group attribute *New can produce the appearance of recursive behavior i.e. it will allow more than one invocation of the program in the call stack. However it is not true recursion since all of the variables, file cursors, etc. are completely separate. However - if that is what you need it will work - but is a slow process as Activation Group creation is an expensive process. This has been discussed many times before on this list - suggest you check the archives if you want more details. Jon Paris Partner400 www.Partner400.com www.RPGWorld.com
