How can I change the date format in @D to DDMMMYY for an script?. I use Operating System: windows XP and Origin6.1

I tried by changing that format in the options dialog and by introducing the statement:
system.date.customFormat1$.

Neither of those work. It seems like the script is using the windows XP format in any case. Why? Can anybody help me?

The Date specification requires lowercase d and y so the custom format can be assigned as :

SYSTEM.DATE.CUSTOMFORMAT1$="ddMMMyy";

If this needs to be applied to a column note the sequence (here being applied to column 1) :
wks.col1.subformat=20; // First set the subformat to use CUSTOMFORMAT1
wks.col1.format=4; // Then set the column format to use Date
