IS-PLUGIN Field in ACUCOBOL.DEF

Using a field in ACUCOBOL.DEF, your COBOL program can determine whether or not it is running in a Web browser via the ACUCOBOL-GT Web Runtime. The field, known as IS-PLUGIN, is defined in the SYSTEM-INFORMATION group of ACUCOBOL.DEF.

For example, you might include the following code:

ACCEPT SYSTEM-INFORMATION FROM SYSTEM-INFO.
if IS-PLUGIN then
   display message box "Running via the Web runtime"
else
   display message box "Running via stand-alone runtime"
end-if.
