Yes.  Use the    mode 1   command. 

I found that my USA version of the interpreter defaults to mode 1 while the
USA version of the compiler defaults to mode 0.  If you explicity put the
Mode 1 command in your program, both the intepreter and compiler will 
act consistenly.
 
Mode 0, therefore, selects European date format while Mode 1 selects USA
format.
