Just use a keyword flag, as you said.

1) Add to the call line of the routine something like ",diagnose = diag'

2) Add to the body of the routine "diflag = keyword_set(diag)'

3) Run search and replace, replacing every instance of "print," with
"if diflag then print,"

The choice of variable names is, of course, up to you.
