There are plenty of ways to to accomplish what you want. Whatever method you choose, do yourself a favor and include a comment to explain your intent. Your successor will thank you.
I am using a Schneider PLC and I am trying to replace an existing coil with an operation that will not energize or de-energize that coil but I want to leave the rung in place as a placeholder with the existing conditions to set it. In Rockwell world I would just replace the coil with an NOP. I don't think my question came though clearly - I apologize and I hope this describes it better.

Presumably just temporarily? Otherwise, what would you do with any XIO or XIC instructions with the same address as the coil instruction?
You could accomplish the same thing by readdressing the coil instruction to an unused address.
Not sure about Schneider, but in a GE/Emerson PLC you could apply a force to the coil without changing its state.
