Description

This tag causes the named page to be reevaluated in the current context (meaning, among other things, that any global variables will have their current value). All fields which would be displayed (for input or display only) will be verified.

Realize that any pages specified by a vpage tag will essentially be re-run. If this is a concern, specify fields individually or use vinstantiated. In fact, it has been found that, in practice, vinstantiated works better and does what is wanted; be cognizant of the fact that the fields checked by each method are not the same.

As an example of the above, if on the first run through af a page, we increment a global var, then it will be the new, incremented value when the page is re-evaluated for vpage. This will also have the effect or incrementing the value again!

Note that there is no ignore attribute possible with vpage. This is because vpage is being deprecated.
