------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
ISDIGIT(<cString>) --> lBoolean

<cString> is the character string to be examined.
Returns
ISDIGIT() returns true (.T.) if the first character of the character
string is a digit between zero and nine; otherwise, it returns false
(.F.).
Description
ISDIGIT() is a character function that determines whether the first
character in a string is a numeric digit between zero and nine. If any
other character is the first character of the <cString>, ISDIGIT()
returns false (.F.).
ISDIGIT() is useful where you need to know if the current character
string is a number before converting it to a numeric value with the
VAL() function.
