5.4.1.2 W$STATUS library routine

If desired, you can display status information in the host browser's status bar by CALLing the new W$STATUS routine.

CALL this routine using the following syntax:

     CALL "W$STATUS" USING STATUS-MESSAGE

Where STATUS-MESSAGE, PIC X(n), contains the message to be displayed in the browser's status bar.

Note: This routine is only available when the calling COBOL program is running in a Web browser window via the ACUCOBOL-GT Web Plug-in. This routine is unavailable to programs run by the stand-alone runtime (wrun32.exe) when it is executed by a Web browser. The RETURN-CODE register is set to "1" after a successful call and "0" if this routine is unavailable.
