should erase all the content of the decision icon when I move to another icon

problem)</font> <br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">eraseonexit=0 the content
stays there, even if I leave the decision icon</font> <br><br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Nevertheless to make sure I tried all variants but none

anything in my piece ...</font> <br><br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Thanks

<br><br><br><font size="2" face="Verdana">If it's modelled on the AW structure,
then this is my take:<br><br>Erase=1 in the decision will erase anything the
decision structure left on screen when the flow moves out of that
structure.<br><br>EraseonExit=1 will leave any content the decision icon
structure displays until the decision icon structure is exited.<br><br>So
EraseonExit=1 should let your decision icons build up, Erase=1 will erase the
whole shebang when the dec structure is exited.<br><br>Dave
