I'm trying to convert date using the following:

<$olddate="1967-02-01">
<$newdate=(convert($olddate, 'date'))>

But I get this error: Date 1967-02-01 is invalid/out of range

Can this convert be used on older dates?

The "date" type is limited in range to dates between 1970 and 2038. For dates outside of that range you'll need to use a "long" type field and store them as integers of the form YYYYMMDD.
