MATLAB: The H and P value of standard normal distribution

normal distribution h p value

Hello,
I computed the pdf of a standard normal distribution, with parameters µ equal to 0 and σ equal to 1.
I used lillietest to test whether the norm data is normal distribution or not. Since norm is standard normal distribution, it should has H value=0. Why the H value=1, and p value is 0.0012?
Thanks in advance!

    x = [-3:.1:3];
    norm = normpdf(x,0,1);
>> [H,P,KSSTAT,CV]=lillietest(norm)
H =
     1
P =
    0.0012
KSSTAT =
    0.1523
CV =
    0.1131

The lillietest tests the null hypothesis that the data comes from a normal distribution against the alternative that it does not. You are not passing in data from a normal distribution, but rather the density function values at specified value of the random variable.
data = randn(100,1)
[H,P,KSSTAT,CV] lillietest(data)
