Until some time ago I had to answer: "unfortunately not". I defended myself by explaining that the RPG language is a programming language primarily used for developing business applications for the IBM i and there is no need for advanced features. Bullshit! Actually the RPG language was not recursive, STOP! But now, finally and with great satisfaction, I can answer yes, it is! What does "Recursion" mean? Recursion is a programming technique or approach where a function or a subroutine calls itself directly or indirectly to solve a problem.

Recursion can be a
