Want to be even more flexible? Try this:
convert myvalue to long date if it is "invalid date" then answer "That date is invalid!" else put it into myvalue end if
This will convert other recognized date formats into the long date format and replace the original data with that, complaining if the input date is invalid.
You can replace 'long date' with 'system long date' to force use of the OS's defined long date format, but note that I seem to have come across a problem with this that sticks a leading zero on the day number, even though my system prefs do not call for one.
You can also replace 'long' with 'short', or whatever...
