Is program an executable or just compiled?

[davido]

Is there a way of knowing if the running program was just compiled or is from an executable file?

I'm sure this has been discussed before but I have been unable to locate it.
I thought that a #PB_Compiler constant might work, but I couldn't get any to work.

It is an executable.

Not sure if this helps and I've never used it myself - but this is in the Purebasic IDE documentation section, about constants in Compiler Options :

#PB_Editor_CreateExecutable
If enabled, this constant holds a value of 1 if the code is compiled with the "Create Executable" menu or 0 if "Compile/Run" was used.

@deeproot,
Thank you, I'll give it a try.

I did look at the manual but managed to overlook that one.
