That is due to the fact that the number of values is unknown and recursion has a built-in limit based on the stack size. So if your logic is recursive it will work one day on one file of numbers and not the next on a longer file.
Much better to simply maintain a summed value, read a value, add it to the sum, write the current sum, and continue until done. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
