Syntax

public anytype callObject(
    str methodName, 
    Common Called, 
     )

Run On

Called

Parameters

  • methodName
    Type: str
    The name of the object method to call.
  • Called
    Type: Common Table
    The object to call. This parameter could be created by a call to the makeRecord method.
  • Type: [T:]

Return Value

Remarks

If an attacker can control input to the callObject method, a security risk exists. Therefore, this method runs under Code Access Security. Calls to this method on the server require permission from the ExecutePermission class. Make sure that the user has development privileges by setting the security key to SysDevelopment on the control that calls this method.

Examples

This example calls the SysUserLog.onlineTime static method in the SysUserLog table and then prints the value that is returned from the call.

{ 
    Dicttable         dictTable; 
    int               onlineTime; 
    Common            common; 
    str               resultOutput; 
    ExecutePermission perm; 
     
    perm = new ExecutePermission(); 
    dictTable= new DictTable(tablenum(SysUserLog)); 
    if (dictTable != null) 
    { 
        common = dictTable.makeRecord(); 
  
        // Grants permission to execute the 
        // DictTable.callObject method. DictTable.callObject runs 
        // under code access security. 
        perm.assert(); 
  
        onlineTime   = dictTable.callObject("onlineTime", common); 
        resultOutput = strfmt("User online time is %1", onlineTime); 
        print resultOutput; 
        pause; 
    } 
     
    // Close the code access permission scope. 
    CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert(); 
}
