What it means
A non-empty format attribute on a line's ram:ContractReferencedDocument/ram:FormattedIssueDateTime/qdt:DateTimeString must contain a permitted date format code. An empty value passes this check. FX-SCH-A-001031 separately checks whether the attribute exists.
Why it matters
The format code describes how the contract date is written. A code outside the permitted list does not meet the Extended profile's coding requirements.
How to fix it
Correct the format attribute on qdt:DateTimeString under the affected line's ram:ContractReferencedDocument/ram:FormattedIssueDateTime. For an eight-digit date written as YYYYMMDD, use format="102" and make the date text match. Export again and recheck the file.
