Something like typedef to easily toggle dev output?

[Achilles97]

I have a lot of troubleshooting output throughout my script that I want to toggle on/off.

Something like :

if(devmode == 1)
typedef(DEVMODE,'echo');
else
typedef(DEVMODE,'//');

My script will have output like:

DEVMODE "checking variables $x $y $z....";

Is there anything like that? How can I do it?

Thanks!
