suppressing "function <functionNameHere> redefined" output text

I have a procedure that defines a few procedures inside of it (even though I just learned there is no such thing as local functions in SKILL). Everything works fine until I call this procedure from a pcDefinePCell script. I get a message that the pcell generated information, and I can view the information in a temporary file. When I view the file, it just contains the list of functions that were redefined. Is there a way to suppress this output? It causes issues e.g. when you go to compile pcells (flashing yellow x because it interprets it as a pcell eval fail) and stream them out to gds (streamout fails because it thinkgs the pcell eval failed). 

Thanks,
Mark

    Andrew,

    Thanks for the response!

    My problem seems to be that I'm not using any functions using SKILL++ language mode. So, what I was intending to be local procedures are written as SKILL language mode (.il) and have global scope. Thus, they get redefined every time. 

    I implemented things such that the procedure with local procedures is in SKILL++ and just called from SKILL language mode. This seems to fix things and get the behavior I want. Thanks for the suggestion!
