I understand that Thierry wanted to convert seconds to show a duration, not a time of day. For my app, I wrote a rather long piece of code to convert a sum of seconds into a time display (because I'm a real newbie). I appreciate Thierry's concise function, to which I added a line for also showing the seconds in addition to hours and minutes, which is needed in my app.
function MyConvert t put t div 3600 into h put ( t - h * 3600 ) div 60 into m put ( t - h * 3600 ) - ( m * 60 ) into s return format( "%02d:%02d:%02d", h, m, s) end MyConvert Thanks Thierry!

It is not a simple issue. 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 ?
