mobilePickDate result format?

[slowmaker]

Am I misreading the docs?

The selected date, time or date and time are returned in the result. The value is in seconds since the UNIX Epoch. If the picker is cancelled then cancel is returned in the result.

Looks to me like this line:
mobilePickDate "date"
should return seconds since epoch in the result, but I keep getting just a short date format.

Code: Select all

mobilePickDate "date"
put the result into tDate
answer tDate  -- I'm getting "2/23/20", here, not the expected seconds since unix epoch

Obviously a known bug since 2013!
