Problem

Symptoms: 1. When a customer runs a macro with a two-line message in an {INPUT} prompt, the screen does not rewrite properly. When scrolling down, the screen rewrites one line at time. When scrolling up past the top margin, or when Esc is pressed twice, the top line of the prompt repeats. 2. Also, if the first {INPUT} command is followed by another {INPUT} command, the first line of the two-line prompt remains on the screen. To duplicate these errors, create and run the following macro: {INPUT}This is a sample{Enter} line of text.~ {INPUT}This is another sample.~ Solutions: Two-line prompt messages should not be used. Using the ^P positioning command can also cause problems. Customers can add the screen rewrite command between the two {INPUT} commands to resolve the problem listed in item two above: {INPUT}This is a sample{Enter} line of text.~ {Screen}{Screen} {INPUT}This is another sample.~ These problems occur with the following macro and merge commands: {CHAR}, {TEXT}, {PROMPT}, and {STATUS PROMPT} commands.
