The function I gave you before. If you want to get rid of any character that is not a digit, you have to eliminate digits first, and use the remainder as a "mask" for chrtran(), i.e., to indicate what characters to eliminate. In the following example, variable x contains non-digit characters:
x = "123/456-789"
? chrtran(x, chrtran(x, "0123456789", ""), "")
replace all MyField with chrtran(MyField, chrtran(MyField, "0123456789", ""), "")
