    Hi Frank,

    This is not possible purely within the Innovator database itself. However, if you extract this class into a custom DLL, it would be possible to reference this DLL from your methods. You can see an example of this in section 8.27 of the Programmer's Guide.

    Note that I've linked the Release 33 version of the Programmer's Guide, but this functionality is not new and you should be able to find the relevant section in the Programmer's Guide of whatever version you are using.

    Hope this helps!
