FX-SCH-A-000632: Check the effective period date format code

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000632 means the format code on the date in your document's effective period is not allowed by the Extended profile. Use a listed code that matches the date text; for a full calendar date written as YYYYMMDD, use 102.

On this page

What it means

This checks the format attribute of udt:DateTimeString at rsm:ExchangedDocument/ram:EffectiveSpecifiedPeriod/ram:CompleteDateTime. A non-empty value must appear in the Extended profile's date-format code list. An empty value passes this particular check. The test does not check the date text.

Why it matters

The format code declares how software should read the date. A recognised code still needs date text written in the corresponding format.

How to fix it

Correct the format attribute on this effective period date. For format="102", write the actual date as eight digits in YYYYMMDD order, without separators. Do not put YYYYMMDD itself in the attribute. If your software generates the file, have its export corrected, then export and recheck it.
