Yes, this is possible using the 2.2 version of Visual COBOL, and the syntax is quite similar to the C# syntax.

As an example:

class-id a.

method-id main static.

invoke self::MyString("Hello")

invoke self::MyString

end method.

method-id MyString static public.

procedure division using by value passedString as string = " ".

display passedString

end method.

end class.

Thanks. I thought I tried that. I must have done something wrong.
