I have a method defined as follows in a class:

    public static void salary_proj_accept()throws IOException
               {
                   statements;
               }

Later in the same class I have another method

  public void salaryPay(float startsalary, float salaryincrease, int
percentincreasefro, int percentincreaseto, int yearto)
    {

I'm trying to call the first method by:
salary_proj_accept();
               }

However when I do so, I'm told I need to throw an exception...so I
replace with:
salary_proj_accept()throw IOException

When I do, I then get:
Salaryprojection.java:89: ';' expected
        salary_proj_accept()throws IOException;
                           ^
Salaryprojection.java:89: not a statement
        salary_proj_accept()throws IOException;

Is there a way that I can call my first method?

Tnx
