Using the WEB-BROWSER control, you can include many types of files in your COBOL applications, including those with compressed graphical formats, compressed sound formats, movie-file formats, animated gif formats and more.
To include a graphical or multimedia file in your program, you include the filename in the VALUE clause of the DISPLAY WEB-BROWSER statement. For example:
display web-browser, value "movie1.avi".
This example would launch the user's default movie viewer and play the movie on the user's screen.
