  METHOD omit_receiving.
    any_method(
      EXPORTING iv_param  = lv_param
      IMPORTING ev_param  = ev_param
      CHANGING  cv_param  = cv_param
      RECEIVING rv_result = lv_result ).

    cl_any_class=>get( )->any_method(
      IMPORTING
        ev_param  = ev_param
      CHANGING
        cv_param  = cv_param
      RECEIVING
        rv_result = DATA(lv_result2) ).
  ENDMETHOD.

                  IMPORTING ev_param  = ev_param
                  CHANGING  cv_param  = cv_param ).

    DATA(lv_result2) = cl_any_class=>get( )->any_method(
                         IMPORTING
                           ev_param  = ev_param
                         CHANGING
                           cv_param  = cv_param ).
