That implies the issue is resolved by Work Management. So again, why would a program need to know the answer? A program should be given inputs which tell program what to do, so why would the program need to know "whether it's running in a 'web server' job?" if that program has been told what to do?

The issue as originally formed was that server jobs are basically
batch jobs, but web server jobs behave like interactive ones. One of
the ERP vendors, as I recall, even talks about making adjustments
that will accommodate this and maybe help performance some. I don't
think those suggestions require figuring OUT the status, you set up a
subsystem description or prestart job entries or something like
that.

True - unless of course one thinks of a web app as interactive.
Which is a "meaningful" definition but admittedly not in the
conventional IBM meaning of "interactive".

I've yet to find an API that will tell me if I am running in a
web server job.

So... Suppose the answer is known, whether the program is "running
in a web server job?" What does knowing that information then allow
the program to do and\or what does knowing that information then
preclude the program from doing? Also I am curious what difference
is there between a "web server job" and any other type of job that
might be servicing requests from elsewhere [other than an
interactive display device]?
