calling global methods from within calculated fields

[RobertMeyer]

i see that when editing a calculated field in the method editor,
under globals, i can only see global variables, not global
methods.

i also noticed that i can enter the name of a global method
in the calculation, and it works great!

the question is: is this ok to do? will i get in trouble doing
this?

thanks

methods can access everything like elements in a form or other dataproviders from every form they want..
And that will make it very dangerous to use them in calculations. But if you only use global methods for some handy functions that don't touch anything else should work fine.
