Business 'fancy date format'

[Robert Fewell]

While going through the business reports looking for any charts on master,
I have come across the following problem...

Under File/Properties/Business there is an option to specify a fancy date
format which by default is showing UTC.
All I have added was a company name and saved that.

With some test data I ran the 'Customer Report' which failed due to it not
retrieving the fancy date format as there is not one even though default
shows UTC.

So the question, at what point should the fancy date format be saved to
file ?
should this report test for a date format, if not one use the
(gnc-default-strftime-date-format)
