Yes we can create recursive methods:

Ex.

Method recursive.

......

if .....

recursive( xxx = fyxx

zzz = altzzz ).

endif.

......

endmethod.

Hi,

Yes. We can create recursive methods in ABAP Objects. You need to take care when to come out of the recursion. Otherwise it will lead to indefinite loop.

Mostly, in SAP PP module BOM related programs require recursion.

The program can be like this :

Method RECURSION.

if <condition>.

exit.

else.

call method RECURSION.

endif.

endmethod.

Please let me know if you need assistance further.

Best Regards,

Aleem Mohiuddin.

Hi Rohini,

can I suggest an alternative way to get an answer for a question like this?

Why don't you just try it? It would take you about 2 minutes to have a go and you would learn a whole lot more than just "Yes it can".

Then - if you think the information you have learned is valuable enough - you could add it to the ABAP Wiki for others.

You would then become a SCN Contributor.
