This is a list box and the operator selects the event date and time.

No real screen interaction and the screen being used in blank.

It gets "messed up" when the browse is re-executed.


The apparent solution is to put a CLEARB just before the second browse opens.  This close the first browse and when the second browse is re-executed, this CLEARB closed the current browse and it executes the browse again.  There is a very quick screen "flicker" when the browse closes and reopens.  However, you have to be looking for it or you won't see it.

This is a workaround as I still don't know what caused this problem to arise.
