Abort recursion
 

If I have a procedure which I call recursively. Is there a way I can say
exit all the way out completely. I know I could put logic and pass
flags up through the parameters etc. but just wondered if I could do
this another way

e.g a simple example

Sub Main ()
Hello (1)
End Sub

Sub Hello (x as Integer)
MsgBox x

if x < 10 then
Hello(x+1)
else
<some more processing
end if
end sub

It's a bit hard to explain cos the above is simple and what I am trying
to do is more complicated, but when the recursion reaches the end, I'd
like all the levels of Hello to unravel with no more execution taking
place

Take out the <some more processing and your example does that - sounds like
you just have a design issue.

A stupid way would be to use the END statement.

I'll have a little think. The <some more processing was actually
essential processing required before recursively calling Hello again -
so set up some variables which is the whole crux of the recursion in the
first place

Trouble is I am trying to fit someone else's code into my code and I've
been thinking about this for a while. Will have another go today. END
will not be an option as I don't want to stop execution all together
