Hi,

you cannot coerce a list of file specifiers to text.
To get a list of file paths just retrieve the path property of every file


set allfiles to path of every file of folder SourceFolder whose name contains "xml"

I recommend to set text item delimiters to a new line character to get a better readable result


set SourceFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose folder" without invisibles) as string
tell application "System Events"
	set allfiles to path of every file of folder SourceFolder whose name contains "xml"
end tell
set {TID, text item delimiters} to {text item delimiters, return}
set allfiles to allfiles as text
set text item delimiters to TID

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
   tell window 1
       set cell "DBASE::Field_01" of current record to allfiles
   end tell
end tell
