Ahem!
I am too familiar with the Hypercardian way of making functions...
In the (Hyper)card script I have:
-----
function cnf Fx
set the numberformat to (cd fld "format")
repeat with i = 1 to the number of words in Fx
get word i of fx
if it is a number then put value(it) into word i of Fx
end repeat
return Fx
end cnf
-- by HTH List HC US
----
and the button script:
-----
put cnf(cd fld "nombre") into cd fld "nombre"
-----
Hence: what are the Metacardian equivalents of those commands?
I must confess that the similarities of HC and MC are somewhat confusing...

A moment later ;-)
"numberformat" behaves as in HC: it requires a calculation in order to
format the result of that calculation; hence I replace:
if it is a number then put value(it) into word i of Fx
with:
if it is a number then put value(it+0) into word i of Fx
and it works!
It seems that HC *evaluates* the result of a command, whereas MC doesn't,
unless you told it....
