  ENDMETHOD. "main
  ENDCLASS.

  START-OF-SELECTION.
  demo=>main( ).

In my code the method show_output doesn't get implemented,but when i place the same code of show_output in the constructor method the code is getting executed.

I am not able to figure out the reason behind this.

can anybody please help me understand why is this happening??

The show_output method was never been called.

o_vessel->show_output is required in the main method of demo.

Silly Mistake.
