I'm trying to have 1 program to respond to requests from a ws session or from the web(cgi-bin). How can you tell which way the program was called (ws session or web) so you can respond appropriately?
I'm not sure what a "ws session" is. Web service? Workstation?If you mean workstation, you can check the REQUEST_METHOD environment variable. IF it's not set, it's a workstation session. If it's set, it's called via CGI (or a regular program that's deliberately trying to look like it's calling via CGI, which is often done when testing CGI code.)

Here's a proof of concept:
H DFTACTGRP(*NO) ACTGRP('TEST') BNDDIR('QC2LE')
*
* I use the following (by preference) instead of QtmhGetEnv
* (but QtmhGetEnv() would've also worked)
D getenv PR * extproc('getenv')
D varname * value options(*string)
*
* I use the following (by preference) instead of QtmhWrStout
* (but QtmhWrStout would've also worked)
D stdout s * import('_C_IFS_stdout')
D fputs PR 10I 0 ExtProc('_C_IFS_fputs')
D string * value options(*string)
D stream * value
D fflush PR 10U 0 ExtProc('_C_IFS_fflush')
D stream * value
D ptr s *
D reqmeth s 10A varying
D data s 500A varying
D wait s 1A
/free
ptr = getenv('REQUEST_METHOD');
if (ptr = *NULL);
DSPLY ('Not a CGI job!') ' ' wait;
else;
reqmeth = %str(ptr);
data = 'Content-type: text/html' + x'0d250d25';
fputs(data: stdout);
data = '<html><body><h1>'
+ 'This is a CGI program called with the ' + reqmeth
+ ' request method.' + '</h1></body></html>' +x'0d25';
fputs(data: stdout);
fflush(stdout);
endif;
return;
/end-free
If you meant "web service" rather than workstation, the solution is
somewhat similar. Read an environment variable again, but this time look
for the CONTENT_TYPE variable. If it's set to text/xml, then it has sent
you an XML document (and therefore is likely a webservice) if it sends
Application/x-www-form-urlencoded, then it's a regular web page (HTML
form).
