Yes, this is why I add the following procedures to my initial quick screen:

PROCEDURE INITIALIZE
  BEGIN
    RUN COMMAND "RESET STDIN"
  END

PROCEDURE EXIT
  BEGIN
    RUN COMMAND "FILE STDIN=$NULL"
  END


The EXIT procedure I only use in quick screens that I call from a
cobol/vplus program for when the user exits and then reselects the option to
run the quick screen.
