Re: Recursive Call

Note that within COBOL that is compliant with the three most recent
standards, both direct and indirect recursion is prohibited. If an
implementor allows it (or provides additional syntax to support it), it's an
extension and it does whatever the implementor says it does.

The draft standard proposed for 2008 allows the RECURSIVE clause in the
PROGRAM-ID paragraph, and programs so marked may be called when they are
already active, and may call themselves directly or indirectly. Those that
aren't can't.
