True - it would be a nice convention for debug keywords to exist in IDL routines in general... in some fashion. I
actually stick in an (also undocumented!) debug keyword in all my new IDL routines that control the error handling, i.e.
force any errors to cause execution to halt in the routine.
Regarding the ON_ERROR issue, it would be more difficult to do than a simple string substitution, but one could figure
out a way to modify their routines that do something like
PRO mywhatsit, arg1, arg2, etc...
ON_ERROR, 2
to
PRO mywhatsit, arg1, arg2, etc..., Debug=Debug
ON_ERROR, KEYWORD_SET(Debug) ? 0 : 2
Problem solved! :o)
cheers,
paulv
