Date and time not updating in Applesoft BASIC program?

[DMn2004404 <dmn2004404@gmail.com>]

Here's the scenario: I have written an Applesoft BASIC program that
uses a No-Slot Clock in my Enhanced Apple //e. I have RUN the program
and had it execute a routine that displays the system date and time.
When the program reaches this routine at, let's say, 6:32 PM, it says
the time is 6:32 PM. So far, it appears the date and time routine is
working properly. But, let's say I've had this same program running
continuously for, say, two minutes, and the time is now 6:34 PM, but
when I send the computer back to the date and time routine, the
program says the time is still 6:32 PM. What's the deal here, and is
there any way to rectify it?
