Description

The entry_clear message will clear all data-entry windows that are not controlled by a retain or retainall. If the item is cleared, the value is set to blanks and the changed_state is set to false. If the item is retained, its value will remain unchanged, and its item_changed_state set to true. This is done to ensure that the data will be moved into the record buffer on subsequent entry_update messages.
