Dear IDL Users,
I would like to print out the name of the procedure or function as the code executes. In C I'd add a line referring to argv[0]. Is there an equivalent in IDL such as argv or a !System variable? Thanks.
Charles

You can use the MESSAGE procedure, e.g.
pro testpro
message, 'Entered...', /informational
; do stuff
end
IDL> testpro
% TESTPRO: Entered...
IDL>
I use this in concert with a debug keyword, e.g.
pro testpro, debug=debug
if ( keyword_set(debug) ) then $
message, 'Entered...', /informational
; Do stuff
end
You can also pass an empty string.
cheers,
paulv

SCOPE_TRACEBACK is the way to tell what routine you are in.
