ArgumentTypeDescription
valueAnyValue to be converted.
dateFormatString

An optional parameter which is a Date and Time Format Patterns. PhixFlow will check if the value parameter is a date or can be converted to a date. If the value parameter cannot be converted to a date then an error will be thrown.

If this parameter is not used and a date object is passed into the value parameter, PhixFlow will use the default format of "yyyyMMdd.HHmmss"


Tip

Remember that to specify a standard day-month-year string, use dd-MM-YYYY. If you specify DD-MM-YYYY, PhixFlow returns the day in the year.
