If you Break, nothing you entered will be recorded. If you are on a record, as in your case, and use the @key with any key other than U, what you enter in any field on any screen seems to be recorded.

In my situation, the record is unconditionally rewritten only if field(s) on the 
popup screen are updated by WLF processing.  If fields on the popup screen are 
updated from the keyboard only, then those changes are properly discarded if I press 
Break.  See the simplified example and test set I just posted.
