Re: Recursive function in SQRW

[Ranade Sameer <sranade@BRISHOSP.CHIME.ORG>]

Hi,

        I never needed to implement recursive functions for any
practical purposes in SQR, but it's possible to implement. I don't think
global variables should cause any problems in general.

Here is sample example:

begin-report
  do test1 ! This is called recursively later.
  let #count=0
end-report

begin-procedure test1
let #count=#count+1
if #count > 12   ! test condition to come out of SQR
  STOP
else
  display 'Now in test1'
  display #count
  do test1   ! Call same procedure
end-if
end-procedure


Above is very simple example, but it can be coded for complex tasks too.

Hope it helps,
-Sameer

Hello

        Have any one of you ever
implement recursive procedure in SQRW ?
Or is it possible to do recursive in SQRW?
(the global variable of SQRW made recursive
 hard to implement)

thank you in advance.
any comment is welcome
