ASSERT is checking if some expression evaluates to .F. and showing dialog with buttons for Debug, Cancel, Ignore, Ignore All.

Example:

SET ASSERTS ON

nA = 1
nB = 2
lCondition = nA > nB

IF lCondition = .T.
	=MESSAGEBOX("ASSERT will not pass here!")
ENDIF

ASSERT lCondition MESSAGE "nA > nB = .F."

Program checks if nA is bigger then nB. If it is then lCondition = .T. otherwise lCondition = .F.
ASSERT is checking the value of lCondition and because it is .F. it shows up dialog for debuging options.

ASSERT is a nice way for trapping errors elegantly.
Be aware that ASSERT command will work only if SET ASSERTS is ON, otherwise is ignored.
