It could also break some code relying on Scan NOT restoring the record pointer.

This is the way it worked ever since Scan was introduced. Alternately, you could do what Sergey meant:

>

>PARAMETERS tnNumero
>LOCAL lnRecno, lnWA
lnWA=select()
select 0
use (original alias here) again alias ("cur"+tran(tnumero))

>SCAN FOR NoParent=tnNumero
>   ...
>   This.Recursive(Numero)
>ENDSCAN
use in ("cur"+tran(tnumero))
select (lnWA)

So you have a new alias and a new record pointer for it in each level of recursion. And separate buffers for each, as a side effect.
