Michael, Ok. I thought this might be the problem. I need to use number() on the string only. When I did that, it worked fine. I took a look at the number() in your first edition. I gathered that the function must be used purely and not mixed with other opperands. However, I regularly write the following: number($x + 7) This has not given me any errors and passed by fine in SAXON 7.
