Recursion in Program

[joel]

Can a Called program execute a CALL statement that directly or indirectly calls the calling program. In other words is recursion allowed in the concept of CALL in COBOL program?

[RajivPrasad]

COBOL does not allow recursion in non-recursive main programs or subprograms. Recursive calls are only allowed if you code the RECURSIVE clause on the recursively invoked program's PROGRAM-ID paragraph

[praddu]

no ,recursion is not possible in cobol
