[Libofx-devel] What's wrong with my OFX file?

[Matěj C. <mc...@re...>]

Hi,

I am trying to write a plugin for ofxstatement script to import 
statements from my bank (Postal Savings Bank in Prague, Czech republic). 
I have now here slightly modified version of the OFX document 
http://mcepl.fedorapeople.org/tmp/HIST_211202112_201203181608.ofx. With 
ofxdump from libofx-0.9.4-3.el6.x86_64 I get plenty of errors on stderr like

(Above message occured on Line 48, Column 21)
LibOFX ERROR: OpenSP parser: otherError (misc parse error):
/tmp/libofxtmpWNlNLz:48:21:E: non SGML character number 173

and ofxdump produces corrupted characters. When importing this file into 
Gnucash I get corrupted characters as well (see 
http://mcepl.fedorapeople.org/tmp/gnucash-corrupted-encoding.png for a 
screenshot).

Author of ofxstatement (put to CC of this email) suggested to replace 
the top of the file with

<!--
OFXHEADER:100
DATA:OFXSGML
VERSION:102
SECURITY:NONE
ENCODING:UNICODE
CHARSET:UTF-8
COMPRESSION:NONE
OLDFILEUID:NONE
NEWFILEUID:NONE
-->
<OFX>
[...]

but although ofxdump was then able to read it correctly, gnucash still 
imports corrupted text in both payee and memo fields.

Any ideas, what's wrong with my OFX document?

Best,

Matěj
