I don't understand why a function won't work.

Here is a simpler function that you can apply to just a word:

function isUpperCase w
   constant capitalLetters = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
   set the caseSensitive to true
   return char 1 of w is in capitalLetters
end isCapitalized

if isUpperCase( param(x) ) then put xxx else put x


If you must avoid a function (sniff, I like functions), then consider 
this:

if matchText( param(x), "^[A-Z]") then put xxx else put x
