The screen is then able to put data into that file and pass the file name to screen B as a parameter, 	its a hidden field on the page. This is all in one procedure, which deassigns the logical with 	deletesystemval before finishing.

It appears that with all the subprocesses with the dispatcher and phwebservers the logical is still assigned somewhere.  Similiar to with dcl subprocesses for run commands etc in normal ph.
