RSTDSP(*YES) tells OS400 to save a copy of the display panel that
PROGRAM1 creates when it calls PROGRAM2. When PROGRAM2 returns, OS40
will restore that saved image to the display. You might want to do that
anyway, depending on the way PROGRAM2 overwrites the screen from
PROGRAM1, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. Does PROGRAM2 call
another program that writes to the display?

This description is mixing me up :-)
PROGRAM1 - subfile, select order
PROGRAM1 - call PROGRAM2
PROGRAM2 - order detail, update LCPLT,LCWGT,LCWOOD,LCPLTP
... at this point, do all 4 fields in the database file have the values
you changed them to on the display?
PROGRAM2 - RETURN
PROGRAM1 - subfile
... at this point, are the 4 fields displayed on the subfile? If so,
how did you get the new values out of the database? (RSTDSP won't do it
for you.)
PROGRAM1 - select order
PROGRAM1 - call PROGRAM2
PROGRAM2 - order detail
... here, before updating anything, are the 4 fields displaying what's
in the database?
I'm trying to understand which display is showing wrong data, and at
what point in the business logic that's happening.
