Clear All not working in an Internal Quick procedure

[Deskin, Bob]

Typically the results of doing anything to the display are not obvious until
there's some output to the display, whether for display or prompting. Do you
expect the display to clear while you're doing the WHILE RETRIEVING? Try
adding INFO "" NOW after the CLEAR.

Hi fellow listers,

I have an internal procedure that is coded as follows:

> Clear All
> While Retrieving <dataset>
>   Begin
>      Run Command <element> Of <dataset>
>   End ; While Retrieving
> Refresh All

It looks as if the 'Clear All' is not working.
I've even tried using 'Clear Screen' but it still don't work.
Anybody know why?

Environment is 819c5 running under MPE/iX 6.5

regards,
