GUI_DOWNLOAD Date format

Hi,

I am downloading an internal table to excel through GUI_DOWNLOAD function module, internal table contains a date field and it's getting downloaded in "YYYYMMDD" format. Whereas if we use WS_DOWNLOAD it's getting downloaded with date separator (based on user settings) i.e. slash, dot and etc. Is GUI_DOWNLOAD has this shortcoming?
