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.

Yes, this would be a very useful enhancement. In Windows, for example, not only can you find out the user's chosen date and time formats, but there are also API calls which return the names of the days of the week and the months of the year in the user's selected language, which makes it much easier to write "localised" programs.
