Clears the screen and establishes the application window (BACKSCREEN) as the current window.
Syntax
SCREEN CLEAR
Comments
The SCREEN CLEAR command clears the contents of the application window (BACKSCREEN), hides any other windows that are currently displayed, makes the application window the current window, and places the cursor at the top, left-hand corner of the application window.
Although hidden, all other windows remain open and active. To re-display the hidden windows, use either the SCREEN RESET or WINDOW DISPLAY BACKSCREEN HIDE command.
Example
window clear backscreen
window set current backscreen
window display backscreen
The SCREEN CLEAR command is equivalent to the preceding sequence of commands.
screen clear % clear prev. data & expose application window
output “Output to printer? (y/n)” ;
input Response
if Response = “y”

endif
screen reset
