Yes, that's the problem.  I guess I need to be more precise in my
terminology. I used the term dynamic data, but it really is referred to
as transient data. And the problem whereof you speak also includes the
chars() function which I was using to test for keypress activity.  This
was fixed in Warp 4 somewhere around FP6 or 7, but never in the add-on
Orexx which was released for Warp 3. I was happy to see the Warp 4 get
the fix, because I sent several e-mails to the IBM Orexx group in
Germany before I got an acknowledgement of the problem, and then it took
1 1/2 yrs for the fix to finally come out.  In the meantime, I had to
use the standard Rexx to run my program.
