ACCEPTREFRESH

Restriction: Currently this directive is supported for native COBOL only.

Specifies whether the data areas associated with Screen Section data are updated from their corresponding Working-Storage Section items before an ACCEPT statement.

>>-.---.-.----.--ACCEPTREFRESH-------------><
   +-/-+ +-NO-+

Parameters:

None

Properties:

Dependencies:

Set to ACCEPTREFRESH immediately by MS, IBM-MS or PC1.

Comments:

With ACCEPTREFRESH specified, before an ACCEPT statement that references a Screen Section data item, all data areas associated with Screen Section items subsidiary to the item being accepted are modified as follows:

If the Screen Section item includes the USING phrase, an implicit MOVE is generated from the corresponding Working-Storage Section item
If the Screen Section item includes the TO phrase the data area is initialized to spaces.
