RE: recursive calls


-----Message d'origine-----
[mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] De la part de Jon Paris


The main_procedure_name must be the name of a procedure
defined in the source program. The linear-main procedure is
intended to be called only through the program call interface
and not as a bound procedure call; if you make a recursive
call to the linear-main procedure, the call will be a dynamic
program call."

So recursive program calls are not allowed, as the message I got told me. If I'd used MAIN, I'd have gotten away with it as I would have been making a recursive call to the linear-main procedure which is not the same. Wish I had the time to test it.
I find that a very round about way of saying it.

Charles said :
cycle-less RPGLE programs available in 6.1 and higher support recursion

That's clear.
