Cheque Edit & Roman Numerals

I have encountered a strange situation that I cannot explain.  In 
filePro 5.0, where I use the CHEQUE edit to print checks, the "written" 
output has changed from Arabic numerals to Roman numerals, e.g. 
"$374.39" prints the "written" part of the check as "CCCLXXIV*** zero 
and 39/100 dollars *** ".    My check global dummy field da picks up the 
$ value from field 5 "da(80,cheque,g)=5" .

The CHEQUE edit shows as "CHEQUE:[{!" "!}](zero|<*** > lots cents|<*** 
zero>cents)" and check2 as "chek2:( !0! | ones< hundred > )  ( !00! | ( 
!0! ones | tens ) )".

Could I have a corrupted edit file or could this be related to field 
length?  Eighty seems adequate and this is a recent occurrence which may 
have happened while I was fiddling with an client's older filePro.   Any 
thoughts?
