Previously if a field had a type, and a value was entered which did not match that type, then an error was raised, even though the ASSERT clause was not set. Now the field will be set to nil if the field does not match the specified type, and the ASSERT clause can be used to ensure that a valid value is always entered.
If the field value was changed in the VALUE statement, then the context variables were not reset to reflect this change in the ASSERT statement. As a result the ASSERT would receive the old values prior to being affected by the VALUE statement.
