PROD([force])

If the site manager has designated this as the
production account for this facility the API will return a 1, otherwise it
returns 0.

Because it is unknown how often this will be called or what the cost of the
real check is, the default check is against a field in the KERNEL SYSTEM
PARAMETERS file.  The real check is done when Taskman starts or the first time
the function is called each day.  The force flag can be used to force the API
to do a real check for this call and update the flag.

VARIABLES	TYPE	VARIABLES DESCRIPTION
force	Input	Any non-zero value will cause the API to do a real check calling the OS functions and comparing the results with the stored value.
