Is it possible to call a static method from a public class in background??

Thanks!

Artur.

Yes... unless the method needs interaction with the front end.

In exactly the same way as you call it in foreground!

Your question doesn't make sense. It's like asking "Can I run a function module in background". Or "Can I run a program in background". Generally speaking, yes you can. What we need to know is which method your wanting to call. The fact that it is static, or indeed a method, is utterly irrelevant to whether you can call it in background.

What are you trying to achieve?

Technically, you cannot call a method in the background mode, however you can call its content in the background, just transfer the content of the method to a parameterised report-type program and use SUBMIT VIA JOB statement.

class=>run_in_background( parameters ... ).

METHOD run_in_background.
  SUBMIT zrun_in_background ... VIA JOB...
ENDMETHOD.
