    I've been using DSTX since 2004 and WTX since 2010 and to my knowledge you cannot create a recursive functional map. However, you can recursively call an executable map. I have a few that I had to set up that way. Specifically, I had an XML schema that had a recursive section and that was the only way to be able to process the file. I'm still a bit cautious with them and have an iterator count that I increment each time the map calls itself. If it goes over a certain limit, I fail and send a message just to ensure that I don't go into an infinite loop somehow.

    It really isn't difficult at all to do it that way and it works quite well.

    That was supposed to make me feel better by having a lot of experience, but now I just feel old.

    Yeah, that didn't come across as I intended. LOL My apologies to everyone. Didn't mean to be a jerk boasting about my time with WTX/DSTX. Just that in the time I had used it I have never seen any way to create a recurisive functional map.

    I don't think anyone took it that way, I was just using it as a spring board to make a joke, of which this message board lacks, and I feel should be more of.

    Like, have you heard about the lady who had the left side of her body amputated?
    Well, she's all right now....
