[archive] Thin/webthin identification

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 24 September 2010]

Hello everyone, is there a way to identificate if an application is running under Thinclient (acuthin.exe) or WebThin (activeX athinax.)?
Thanks in advance.

I don't believe there's a built-in way to detect this, but you could fabricate your own by passing in a parameter on the command line:

Acuthin command line:

acuthin server:port alias [I]mode=exe[/I]

Web thin client tag:



Then in your COBOL code, use ACCEPT ... FROM COMMAND-LINE or similar to retrieve the parameter.
