external dll call from a class

[Joel W Winston]

Could someone let me know how can I define the following from within a class.

PROCEDURE WinExec EXTERNAL "KERNEL32.DLL":
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER prog_name AS CHARACTER.
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER prog_style AS SHORT.
END.

Thanks
Joel

you can't... only methods are allowed in there but it's not the only place where we still need to decorate OO ABL with (persistent) procedures.
