public x
x=1
messagebox("The value of x is:" + transform(x))

The reason it gives you an error is the fact that you try to show a string ("The value of x is:") and a numeric value (x)
Transform() does just that, it transforms anything to a string, even .null. values.

One remark about your code, be careful with PUBLIC variables.
If I had to use a var like this in a piece of code I'ld rather use a local variable.
