There doesn’t seem to be a system variable that returns it. It would be nice to be able to display dates in a format marching the user’s choice.

It seems that despite the possibility to change the date format in the Home settings, even the HP Prime doesn’t use it anywhere other than in the small window that appears after tapping the clock in the top-right corner (the date then appears in the selected format). I haven't found any other use of this format anywhere else. A PPL function that converts the date to a string in the selected format, as well as the ability to read this format from the settings (a dedicated variable), would definitely be useful. At the moment, no such functionality exists. I think this is a good suggestion for an enhancement in the next firmware release.
