if you want to call method dynamically, by just knowing its name and Table Name, you can code it as demonstrated below.

Note that I am going to use a job, for demonstration purpose. you may keep this method as any static method and may call it any number of times, if needs.

Such method can be useful in integration scenarios, where you may need to call a specific method by knowing its name only.

static void CallTableMethodByCode_SMC(Args _args)
{
    Common          buffer;
    anytype         result;
    RecId           recId = 22565422954; //recordId for Buffer    
    str             methodName;//variable for method name   
    str             tableName;//variable for TableName    
    SysDictTable    dictTable;//SyDictTable object
    
    ;
    //TableName , MethodName WHICH needed to be called. 
    //For my vase i am calling name() method
    methodName = tableMethodStr(VendTable,name);
    //Table for whcih method is called
    tableName = tableStr(VendTable);
    //initialize SysDictTable object 
    dictTable = new SysDictTable(tableName2Id(tableName));
    
    if (dictTable != null)
    {
        buffer = dictTable.makeRecord();
        
            select firstOnly buffer
            where buffer.RecId == recId;
            
        if (buffer.RecId != 0)
        {
                result = dictTable.callObject(methodName, buffer);//dynamic call to method
                info(result);
        }
    }
 
}
