a little late, but:

<script>

  get fld "fdate"
  convert it from long system date to dateitems
  put item 1 of it into tannee
  put item 2 of it into tmois
  if tmois <10 then put "0" before tmois
  put item 3 of it into tjour
  if tjour <10 then put "0" before tjour
  
  put merge("Nous sommes le [[tjour]]/[[tmois]]/[[tannee]]") into
tmessage
  put tmessage

</script>

assuming that the field "fdate" contains a regular date :-)
