SYMPTOM(s):
It is not possible to clear an integer field to a BLANK value.
Integer fields screen-values cannot be set to blank with ? or "". They always result in '0'.
CLEAR FRAME can blank an integer field, but it also removes dynamic objects.
CAUSE:
This is a known issue being investigated by Development
FIX:
An enhancement has been logged to add a method that allows a fillin's screen-value to be cleared regardless of its format. e.g. widget:CLEAR().
As a work around use the CLEAR FRAME statement. If clearing the frame affects other objects (for example dynamic objects) then parent the fillin integer fields to their own frames, and clear only these specific frames.
