ECN-4609 Multi-monitor support added

Product: ACUCOBOL-GT

Module: Runtime, thin client

Machines Affected: All

Known Versions Affected: All

DESCRIPTION:

The ACCEPT ... FROM TERMINAL-INFO syntax has been enhanced to enable a COBOL program to be aware of a multi-monitor environment.

The copybook acucobol.def has extended the TERMINAL-ABILITIES structure to retrieve more information, mimicking the information returned by the Win32 API GetMonitorInfo.

The syntax can retrieve information for the physical and work area of up to 10 attached monitors. Couple this with the enhancement that increases the maximum screen size (ECN-4610) and you can now work across multiple monitors.

Note: This information is not available when running with AcuToWeb; however, it is available when running under thin client, in which it returns information about the display host.
