Select the columns you want to change the format to, then go to the pull down menu

     Cols=>Standardize Attributes

and you will be able to set the format once and it will apply it to all of the selected columns.

In addition to interactive way of Jim, to do it as a Script see the following example:

Names Default To Here( 1 );
// define a column group and set format of that columns in the group

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA\Big Class.jmp" );
dt << group columns( "decimals", {:height, :weight} );

For Each( {value}, dt << get column group( "decimals" ),
	Print( value );
	value << Format( "Fixed Dec", 15, 3 );
);
