SmartForms Popup Date Error

Hi,

I am using POPUP_GET_VALUES FM for Smartforms in initialization for end user...where he enters the Date...

But the date is picked wrongly from the F4 Help

CLEAR FIELDS.

FIELDS-TABNAME = 'STERM_INDX'.

FIELDS-FIELDNAME = 'AEDAT'.

• FIELDS-VALUE = SY-DATUM.

FIELDS-FIELD_ATTR = '00'.

APPEND FIELDS.

Have checked the user settings ...it is in YYYY/MM/DD but it is displyed in popup input field as DD.MM.YYYY after selecting from F4 Help.
