LiveCode convert seconds to dateItems - year is out by 19?

[Martin Koob]

Hi Keith

I just tried the following

on mouseup

   convert the seconds to dateitems

   put it

end mouseup

The result is 2021,5,11,7,52,5,3  So that is correct.

Where is the value in your tCreateDate variable from.  Maybe there was a miscalculation there.
