     With ACCEPTREFRESH specified, before an ACCEPT 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:
 
       o  if the Screen Section item includes the USING phrase, an implicit
          MOVE is generated from the corresponding Working-Storage Section
          item
 
       o  if the Screen Section item includes the TO phrase the data area is
          initialized to spaces.
 
     With NOACCEPTREFRESH specified, the Screen Section data area is left
     as it was following the last ACCEPT or DISPLAY.
