    Really?!

    Have you actually looked at the Datasheet for the L297?
    www.st.com/.../l297.htm

    The 'Description' paragraph right at the top of he 1st page says, "A feature of this device is that it requires only clock, direction, and mode input signals"

    The diagram at the foot of page 1 clearly shows a 'Clock' connection to pin 18

    The 'Clock' pin description at the foor of page 3 tells you what the 'Clock' pin does.

    etc, etc,...

    Look at ST's Applicaiton Note AN470, "The L297 Stepper Motor Controller"
    www.st.com/.../1734.pdf
    The very first diagram (Figure 1) on the very first page has a signal clearly marked 'Step Clock'

    There is also a section titled "Stepper Motor Basics" - I think you should start with that...
