Events in global classes

Hi,

I have created a global class in SE24. Added two instance / public methods called method1 and method2. Added instance/public event 'EVENT1' in events tab. I went to the details of method1 and added class and event in the pop-up. In method 2 i have written ' RAISE EVENT' statement to raise the event.

Now i have created a report and and calling method2. My understanding is as soon as system encounters RAISE EVENT statement in method2, it should call method1 as it is event handler for event EVENT1, but its not happening.  Did  i miss something here? I have seen examples on event handling in local classes, but nothing on global classes.

thanks
