calling the subclass method.

How to call the method of a sub class which is redefined in the subclass.

1. The super class also has the implementation.

2.No separate instance method is created for the sub class(which creates

instance) .

3.There is a method s_instance of the super class which is static.

4.Therefore the s_instance cannot be redefined.

Hope casting the instance to the subclass will help.

Hi,

static methods are called using classname=>method_name. There are no instances for static methods. so CALL METHOD super_class=>s_instance...

I do not understand how a method can have the name s_instance ?!
