You are doing the function in the finally and these are not for catch
place then return above the finally or better you do not need it here.
Second it is in the service during the return already, may that is also
not to catch anymore
Try this way:

 PUBLIC FUNCTION Cdate_calc(Dte AS String) AS String
	dim ndate as date
	ndate=cdate(Dte)
	Datej.text = ""
	RETURN ndate

 CATCH
	message.Error("Verifiez votre saisie SVP !")

 END
