I am not really sure whether you have a string in some format the built-
in functions do not recognize as a number, or a number and want to print
it in some special form. If, as you say, $B is not actually a number but
a string in some unsupported format, the above cannot work. You have to
convert the $B parameter to a number first.

How do you invoke the transformation? Are you trying this in Internet
Explorer?
