Re: [WDSCI-L] WebFacing and Specific Device

["Shannon ODonnell" <sodonnell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

By using the Webfacing Environment API - QqfEnvironment

Create a protot ype in your RPGLE program like this:

D WebFaced                 PR     10i 0 EXTRPOC('QqfEnvironment')

Then in your C specs if WebFaced = 1, that means it's being ran by the 
webfacing server.

When you compile your RPG module, bind to service program QQFENV

book, "Understanding the IBM WebFacing Tool"
