Hi,

Instance Method

You can declare instance methods by using the METHODS statement. They play a very important role as they can access all of the attributes of a class and can trigger all of the events of the class.

Static Methods

You can declare static methods by using the CLASS-METHODS statement. They are important and can only access static attributes and trigger static events.

STATIC METHODS

CAN ONLY USE STATIC COMPONENTS IN THEIR IMPLEMENTATION PART

CAN BE CALLED USING THE CLASS

Static methods (also referred to as class methods) are called using CALL METHOD <classname>=><class_method>.

If you are calling a static method from within the class, you can omit the class name.

You access static attributes using <classname>=><class_attribute>

Padmam.
