If this is for universe, the problem here stems from the fact that your

There's not really much you can do about that, but you could modify your

002 F-OPEN 1 VOC
003 XNO VOC
004 10 C
Two thoughts,
1) Change the IF A = to IF A1 =, i.e. specify the input buffer.
2) Are any of the PROGxx.PROC doing an RI? This will clear the input
buffer.

If A1 gets overwritten in PROD.PL PROG1.PROC, then it won't be 1 when you
come back to the menu proc. Are you being careful to preserve the value in
A1 when you are in the called proc?

Doesn't matter. The simple fact of using '[' to initiate the subroutine

was enough to cause the automatic clearing of the buffers.

That type of functionality is not possible (unless PROC has been modified
since I worked in it) - that's the reason you can't find anything in the
documentation. You have a choice of doing it the way you are, or using
GOSUB/GOTO to define the multiple lines as a subroutine.
Maybe something like this?
