I have a recursive scalar function that needs to update a record in another table based on the value it is returning, however UPDATE statements are not allowed in the function.
How can I update the table from within the function?

That’s the rule – functions are not allowed to have any data-changing side-affects.
You have to use a Stored Procedure to
UPDATE.
