Cannot Use STATICS in Instance Methods

The STATICS statement is not allowed in instance methods.

There is an error message in ABAP objects for:

METHOD ...
  STATICS s ...
  ...
ENDMETHOD.

Reason:

The STATICS statement in a method corresponds to a CLASS-DATA statement, where the visibility of the declared data objects is limited to the method. This is a potential source of misunderstanding in instance methods.
