OpenL Tablets 5.21.6 introduces new Date functions and includes improvements and bug fixes.

New Features

New Date Functions

Three new Date functions are now available:

  • toDate() — converts a string to a Date. Example: toDate("7/12/80") → 12 July 1980 (00:00:00.000)
  • toString() — converts a Date to a string. Example: toString(Date) → "07/12/1980"
  • Date() — creates a Date from year, month, and day. Example: Date(2018, 7, 12) → 12 July 2018 (00:00:00.000)
