Input box Filmaker Pro 11

I have a database (see attached) it hase a one table and a main layout. The layout out has a button that lets the user enter any number. The inputted number populates the field 'Enter_Number' which is set to receive only numeric data. Is there a way that when the users inputs their answers, the script can check to see that the value entered is indeed only numbers.

I use a custom function, IsNumeric( value, separator ) that returns true or false.  I don't recall where I found it and I don't claim to have written it.  I just use it...


Let
(
   [
   decSep = If (separator = ""; "."; separator);

   trimmedValue = Trim (value);
   filteredValue = Filter ( trimmedValue ; "0123456789-" & decSep );
   lengthOk =    If (Length (trimmedValue) = Length (filteredValue);  True;  False);

   dotOccurence = PatternCount (filteredValue; decSep);
   dotOk = If (dotOccurence = 0 or dotOccurence = 1; True; False);

   minusIndex = Position (filteredValue; "-"; 1; 1);
   minusOk = If (minusIndex = 0 or minusIndex = 1; True; False)
   ];
   If (lengthOk and dotOk and minusOk;
      True;
   /*else*/
      False
   )
)
