CLASS-METHODS - IMPORTING, EXPORTING, CHANGING, RAISING

Syntax

CLASS-METHODS meth

[EXPORTING parameters]
[CHANGING parameters]
[{RAISING exc1|RESUMBALE(exc1) exc2|RESUMBALE(exc2) ...}
|{EXCEPTIONS exc1 exc2 ...}].

Effect

Declares a general static method meth. The additions define the parameter interface for the method and specify the exceptions that the method can raise and propagate. The additions have the same syntax and meaning as those for general instance methods.

Note

You cannot redefine static methods. This means that you cannot define them as abstract or final.

• Static methods are always executed in the class in which they were declared, even if they were called in subclasses or using the names of subclasses.
