Metaschema objects used in a method are identified at compile time. Consequently, you cannot identify a metaschema object by using an object reference, as shown in the following example.
vars cust : Customer; begin cust := Customer.firstInstance; write cust::address.length; // Error, as invalid syntax write Customer::address.length; // Correct end;

ClassName::method // if the method is valid for browserExecution
ClassName::property // if the property is valid for browserExecution
