Re: How to call a Informix 4gl rutine from another 4GL rutine .

I assume you mean function A calls function B which may end up calling function A again directly or indirectly. If this is the case you could define a modular variable (defined at the top of a module above the first function statement) to flag any recursion, something like: define r_flag char function my_func() if r_flag then error "already called" else let r_flag = true call my_func_norecurs() let r_flag = false end if end function function my_func_norecurs() ... the real function. end function The variable r_flag will be null the first time the function is called.
