Instead of using the '.run' command to compile the module, use the '.rnew'
command. It will overwrite the old module with the new version. If you
are having the original module fail, you may also need to execute a
'return' or 'retall' command to get you out of the original failed
module to be able to re-compile it.
Just as an aside, I find that the ability to incrementally compile
pieces of code in IDL a great idea, and make IDL a good environment for
code development.

I usually just use
.run module
.run main_program
to get it to recompile and rerun the main program. If module is a main program
then .rnew should work as well.
Don't Worry. Be Happy!
