Well its been a very long time since I used SAS/AF and I can't test this for you but I would try something like this. You need to use SCL statements to clear the selections, not a SUBMIT block.

Perhaps start by testing your pushbutton like so. A message should show in the message line when the button is pressed.

pushbutton2:
