pjs.fromLilianDate()

This API was added in version 7.17.0

This API is intended primarily for RPG to JavaScript code transformation scenarios, and provides a drop-in alternative to CEEDATE.

For new code, it’s recommended to use standard JS Date methods and/or 3rd party Node.js libraries.

This API converts a number which represents the number of days since 14 October 1582 to a date string.

An exception will be thrown for any error.
