I know what you mean, but it's actually JavaScript (or ECMAScript). "JScript" is Microsoft's implementation of EMCAScript and not what Synchronet uses.

console.putmsg() will expand @-codes. Most other output methods will expand Ctrl-A codes. See http://wiki.synchro.net/custom:javascript#output for a reference.

So that's the @-codes will expand to the *current* user's information. Instead, you wanted to print u.statistics.laston_date. And you probably want to convert that (number) to a human-readable string with something like system.datestr(), system.timestr(), or strftime(): http://synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html
see exec/fingerservice.js or other exec/*.js files for examples.

or even convert it to a JavaScript Date object and use all its methods of stringification:
