METHOD-ID paragraph for defining a class instance method
Use the METHOD-ID
paragraph
to name an
instance method. Immediately precede the METHOD-ID
paragraph
with an IDENTIFICATION DIVISION
declaration to indicate
the beginning of the method definition.
For example, the definition of the credit
method
in the Account class begins like this:
Identification Division.
Method-id. "credit".
Code the method-name as an alphanumeric or national literal. The method-name is processed in a case-sensitive manner and must conform to the rules of formation for a Java™ method-name.
Other Java or COBOL methods or programs (that is, clients) use the method-name to invoke a method.
