Hi JD,

Thanks you for your help... it works pretty well, but I still get some
errors that I am not able to catch... well, I am able to catch them but
it prints an error message. How can I get rid of that error message /
meaning that it wont print any error message?

IDL> validate_routine, ["valid"]
1
IDL> validate_routine, ["foo"]

read_png()
^
% Syntax error.
At: /home/dometz/test_cases/idl/foo.pro, Line 8
0
IDL> exit

function validate_syntax, ROUTINE
COMPILE_OPT HIDDEN
CATCH, ERROR
IF (ERROR NE 0) THEN RETURN, 0
RESOLVE_ROUTINE, ROUTINE, /EITHER, /COMPILE_FULL_FILE
RETURN, 1
END

pro FOO
read_png()
END

any ideas?
