Setting General Options in Program File

Eviews Guys,
I wonder whether is it possible to set General Options (like a raw of code) while writing the programs in batch file?

Intuition is that, e.g. I use global option of date represenation in European style ("dd/mm/yy"). But my colleagues use American style ("mm/dd/yy"). To share the programs I write my colleagues should manually opt date representation and it's a bit annoying, when you have intensively work together.
Solution would be at the start of the program to define date representation style (European or American) and friendly continue to run rest of the program without any errors.

Hi. Unfortunately this is not yet possible.

I suggest you use YYYY-MM-DD format in your program, which is unambiguous.
