General format

Object callStaticMethodOnServer (class, name) Object callStaticMethodOnServer (class, name[, object-parameter-1][, object-parameter-2][, object-parameter-3][, object-parameter-4][, object-parameter-5]) Object callStaticMethodOnServer (class, name, object-parameters) Object callStaticMethodOnServer (class, name, signature, object-parameters)

Syntax rules

1.	class is an alphanumeric data item or literal

2.	name is an alphanumeric data item or literal

3.	object-parameter-1 to object-parameter-5 are object reference to java.lang.Object

General Rules

1.	class and name is case sensitive

2.	signature is a comma separated list of Java data types that describe the parameters that will follow, e.g. ("int, int, String")

3.	The runtime invokes the specified method locally, first. If it does not find the class or the method locally and the configuration property iscobol.remote.code_prefix is set to a valid value, thenit invokes the method remotelly.

4.	For security reasons, the method will be invoked on the server side only if it is defined as alias name.See Using Aliases for more information about aliases. The method alias name must be in the format className.methodName, case-sensitive.

5.	The object returned can be intercepted using COBOL data items if it’s a number or a string.
