Behavior

Instances of Behavior are Object COBOL classes. Behavior provides basic behavior for Object COBOL class objects. Behavior is the Object COBOL metaclass, and Object COBOL applications do not send messages directly to Behavior itself.

However, all Object COBOL classes respond to the methods defined as instance methods of Behavior, and you can use any of the public methods defined here. For example, you could send the "allInstances" method to any class to get a collection of all the instances of that class currently instantiated.
