Echo message
Description
This method displays or writes the message based on debug level. The filehandler is provided through environment variable 'log_fn', and the outputs are written to the file. This method will display message or a hash array based on debug level ('d_level'). If 'd_level' is set to '0', no message or array will be displayed. If 'd_level' is set to '2', it will only display the message level (lvl) is less than or equal to '2'. If you call this method without providing a message level, the message level (lvl) is default to '0'. Of course, if no message is provided to the method, it will be quietly returned. If 'd_level' is set to '1', all the messages with default message level, i.e., 0, and '1' will be displayed. The higher level messages will not be displayed.
Usage
echo_msg(prg, step, msg, lvl = 0, fn = NULL)
Arguments
| prg | program name calling from | 
| step | step in the program | 
| msg | the message to be displayed. No newline is needed in the end of the message. It will add the newline code at the end of the message. | 
| lvl | the message level is assigned to the message. If it is higher than the debug level, then the message will not be displayed. | 
| fn | log file name | 
Value
message
