I'm using something like this in the main program:

public _developtime
_developtime=.t.
on error _developtime=.f.
compile dummy.prg
on error

At runtime the COMPILE command is not available, so will have an error. Since it's the only possible error (another possible error is to not have the dummy.prg file, but the result is the same at runtime), you can trap it with the ON ERROR to set your _developtime variable.
