Instance Constructor Static Constructor

Instance constructors are called once for each instance and are used to initialize instance objects. Static constructors are called once for each class to initialize the class and are declared using the CLASS-METHODS statement. Instance constructors are declared in the class visibility section and are called automatically after object creation, while static constructors do not take parameters and are called before the class is first accessed.

1)Differences between instance and static constructors?

INSTANCE CONSTRUCTOR STATIC CONSTRUCTOR


Each class has one instance constructor.  Each class has one static constructor.
This is a predefined instance method of the class This is a predefined public static method of
called constructor. the class_constructor class.
To use the instance constructor, the method constructor must To use the static constructor, the static
be declared in a visibility section of the class using method class_constructor must be declared in the public
the METHODS statement, and implemented in the section of the declaration part of the class using the
implementation part. statement CLASS-METHODS and implemented in the
implementation part. 
 In global classes, the instance constructor can be declared in
the public visibility section only, for technical reasons. In local
classes, the visibility section in which the instance constructor
can be declared must be more general or equal to the
instantiability defined by the addition CREATE of the
statement CLASS. 
Instance constructors are called once for each instance. They The static constructor is called once for each class and internal
are called automatically, immediately after an instance is session. The static constructor of a class class is called
created using the statement CREATE OBJECT. It is not possible automatically before the class is accessed for the first time.
to call an instance constructor directly using The class is accessed when an instance of the class is created
the constructor( ... ) or a component of the class is used (with the exception of
types and constants). It is not necessary to execute the static
constructor to access a type or a constant of the class.
It can contain importing parameter It does not contain any importing and exporting
