Suppress print statement from nested procedures [message #86507]

Hello all,

I built a wrapper for a procedure (it calls many others, in turn), but the output that was important for the original program is no long important. In fact it's quite a nuisance. I'd rather not dig down into the subroutines to add the option to turn off printing -- this would be a major effort. Is there an IDL equivalent of redirecting to /dev/null (or a text file) when calling a procedure from within another procedure? In a perfect world, it would be:

pro wrapper
[snip]
while i lt 1000 do begin
[snip]
main_procedure >& /dev/null
[snip]
i++
endwhile
[snip]
end

Thanks!

Sam
