Popup update issue

I have a fairly simple popup update process that is causing me a problem. 
The command 'popup update - ,"screen_name"' is working fine.  The 
calculations when leaving 3 of the 4 fields on the screen are working fine. 
Saving the data in a detail file when leaving the 4th field is working fine.

My problem is that the 'clearp' command is removing the popup from the 
screen but leaves the data in the position it was in when the popup was 
still up.  In other words, the data I entered into the popup screen remains 
on the screen even when the popup is gone and even when I move to the next 
record.  I've tried it using real fields and dummy fields but get the same 
results.  I've tried a second 'clearp', 'video sync', 'display', etc. with 
no success.  I can clear the leftover data from the screen with Ctrl-L but 
that is only when I'm at the Enter Selection prompt (and there are lots more 
fields on the main screens that need data before returning to the Enter 
Selection prompt).  I know I must be overlooking something simple.  Ideas?

Thanks,
Steve Wiltsie
