XSLT transformation format-number into strange characters

Question

Hi, Experts,
    When I excute following code to translate a string number DEBIT TYPE C(60) into xml, the result has strange characters.
<xsl:value-of select="format-number(sap:if(string(number(DEBIT))!='NaN',DEBIT,0),'0.0000000000')" />
    If DEBIT is empty, the correct result should be:
0x3000 0x2E00 (0x3000)*10       = 0.0000000000
    but actually, the result will be following in some cases:
0x3000 0x2E00 (0x0F77)*10
    in some cases the result will be
0x3000 0x2E00 (0x2600 0x2300 0x3000 0x3B00)*10
    What I mean in some cases, I ran the same code on different NW system. I also changed the user profile by NW menu System->User Profile->Own Data, the result won't change whether I use American Comma-Dot or European Dot-Comma.
    Can anyone give some advice on the code? Or there is some patch to solve it?
    Thanks and Regards
Davin
