It works (almost) as espected.

I succeded to convert all VALID ISBN-10 to ISBN-13.

Some of them weren't valid and remained with their original code.

My original problem come from updating entries. At the beginning Tellico was configured to update fields already 
present. So, some, surely, unreliable sources replaced my ISBN-13 codes by ISBN-10 codes. And some of them (26) were 
weren't valid codes.

Hopefully, I took care to check if the ISBN-10 code I was valid before converting it to ISBN-13.

Amazingly is that the error in ISBN-10 codes was a '0' instead of an 'X'.

I replaced all these cases by hand.

Maybe this may be useful if someone fall with the same problem than me.

Best regards

José-Marcio
