Hi,

<b>Instance Method</b>

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.

<b>Static Methods</b>

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

<b>STATIC METHODS</b>

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>
