Yes, I understand.

So, to go ahead, I did make this little convert function,
which transforms any seconds into his hh::mm equivalent.
It's a duration in fact, not a clock time !

function MyConvert t
    put t div 3600 into h
    put ( t - h * 3600 ) div 60 into m
    return format( "%02d:%02d", h, m)
end MyConvert

Out of curiosity, I would be very much interested to understand
how we can make the build in convert command work ?

Any convert expert ?
