### Invoke Methods Dialog Box

In this dialog box, you set the input values for the variables, or parameters, of a method and invoke the method. An example of a parameter value is a signed integer or a Date/Time value. The Invoke Methods dialog box supports three types of parameters:

- Input parameters specify data values that are passed to a function and executed.

- Output parameters specify data values that are returned by a function to the screen of an application or a printer.

- Input/Output - Input/Output parameters take data to complete functions and return values.

The Parameter Type column of the Invoke Methods dialog box indicates whether the parameter of the method is input, output, or input/output. The value of an input parameter is displayed in the Input Value column. The value of an output parameter is displayed in the Output Value column.
