Overkill solution...

function  isPositiveInteger pValue
replace comma with empty in pValue #  Thousands separator
replace "$" with empty in pValue # Currency  identifier
try
add 1 to pValue
catch  errnum
return "false" # Not a number
end  try
if trunc(pValue) <> pValue then return "false" # Not an  Integer
return pValue >= 1 # Is not negative
end  isPositiveInteger


Underkill solution...

function  isPositiveInteger pValue
return (pValue is a number) AND (pValue  >=0) AND (trunc(pValue)=pValue)
end isPositiveInteger
