Re:  casting string as integer or double
Sorry forgot the following,

I'm using Saxon 8, and get the following error msg:
Fatal Error! An empty sequence is not allowed as the value in 'cast as' expression

I know that the value is not empty but a whole number. I'm currently putting in
a test for an empty value.
