I confess to not realizing earlier that you were not dealing with a table. I performed the actions you spelled out and get essentially the same result. The row visible after 'down 2' seems to depend on where the screen splits. Otherwise it looks like a failure to clear ZCMD except that the word 'down' is replaced with blanks.
Aside from the impact on your original quest, I believe that this bug is APARable. . .

My problem is with a scrollable area and I don't believe the ROW variable works the same for them. It's starting to sound like I need to convert this to a dynamic data area. Please try this and see if you encounter a bug or two .... Go to the primary option menu in ISPF. Split screen so that the lower panel (ISR@PRIM) is half visible. Type "DOWN 2" on the lower panel and hit ENTER. Which row is visible in the scrollable area? (Mine is option 7) What is visible in the "Option ===>" input field? (Mine contains "2" and the cursor is 6 columns past the "2". ZCMD is not being cleared). Also, thanks to others for replies but this not an ISPF table and table scrolling does not work for scrollable areas.
