In fact I see with the debugger I have another problem :

when i creta a btn with

on mouseUp
put "2002,04,15"  into tmp
convert tmp to dateitems
answer tmp # gives : "2002,04,15"
convert tmp to seconds
answer tmp # gives : "2002,04,15"
end mouseUp

So your code doesn't work.

i always stay with "2002,04,15" without any conversion.

So it is  not a problem of date format (DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY)
but the convert command doesn't work correctly for me.
It must be a bug because your code works fine in hypercard !!
