The AppleScript (Old) Language Reference, for the date class states incorrectly:


time string of date "March 3, 1999" --result: "12:00:00 AM"


Of course, in my French 10.4.7, I have to write:

time string of date "3 mars 1999"

and that value is translated to:

time string of date "mercredi 3 mars 1999 0:00:00"


and naturally, the returned value is changed to:

"0:00:00"



Hello

Just a few words to say that on my machine I get the result described by Emile.

I didn't check the Language Reference manual because for me it's easier to read the french "unofficial" version which states:

Date
Une valeur complète de la classe Date indique le jour de la semaine, la date (jour du mois, mois et l’année) et l’heure ; si vous fournissez une date qu’avec seulement quelques unes de ces informations, AppleScript complète les informations manquantes par des valeurs par défault.
date "26/11/2001"
--résultat : date "lundi 26 novembre 2001 00:00:00"


It is clear that the sample is given for a machine whose setting is : display hours with two digits !
