I Put three lines with data

19991201
19991202
19991203

Into another buffer loaded the below code into another buffer
evaluated the code then switched to the other buffer
The en ran the command

M-x jh-iso-to-chinese


Emacs just switched to the other buffer

(C:\EMACS-21.2\BIN\EMACS.EXE)
For information about the GNU Project and its goals, type C-h C-p.
Loading image...done
call-interactively: End of buffer
Mark set
mouse-minibuffer-check: Minibuffer window is not active [2 times]
Loading calendar...done
Loading mule-util...done
Loading cal-move...done
jh-iso-to-chinese

This is what is in the messages buffer

Is the cursor supposed to be before the dates to be converted or after?
