 I don't think that this is a reliable method of preventing production
updates.  It's too easy to specify (or have the default) on the UPDPROD
changed to *YES.  Also, if the program is already running and you put the
program into debug it will not prevent updates, since it only seems to
check this value when the file is opened.
