PF-Redraw-Screen (Value 2)

Refreshes the contents of the entire screen.

Parameters:

None

Comments:

Any panels currently visible on the screen are refreshed in the order in which they previously appeared. Portions of the screen not hidden by enabled panels display the current backdrop character and attribute.

On the first call to this function, the screen is cleared and the entire screen is set to the current backdrop character and attribute.

This function is particularly useful if a screen becomes corrupted by another program that uses a method of screen updating other than Panels. This call resets the screen to a state recognized by Panels.

Example:

       move pf-redraw-screen to ppb-function.
       call "PANELS" using panels-parameter-block.
       if ppb-status not = zero
*          (code to abort)
