Alder Books Reconciliation: MT940 whose :62F: closing balance is out by 100.00

MT940 whose :62F: closing balance is out by 100.00 for Alder Books Reconciliation. Identical to bank-statement-mt940.txt in every tag except :62F: and :64:, which state C260824USD10336,00 where the 24 :61: movements applied to the :60F: opening balance give C260824USD10236,00. The file is out by exactly 100.00 and nothing inside the statement explains the difference.

Testing contract

Expected to fail
Scenario
Parse the MT940 and verify the closing balance by replaying the statement lines.
Expected result
Replaying the 24 :61: lines from the :60F: opening balance 5000,00 yields 10236,00, but :62F: declares 10336,00, a 100.00 overstatement that :64: repeats. A parser that reads :62F: as authoritative imports a bank balance the transactions do not support.

What is a .txt file?

TXT is a plain-text file containing unformatted character data with no styling or structure beyond line breaks. Its interpretation depends on character encoding, most commonly UTF-8, and on line-ending convention. It is the most universal and portable text container.

How to use this file

Use an example TXT to test encoding detection, line-ending (LF versus CRLF) handling, and any tool that reads or streams raw text input.

How to use this file for testing

“Alder Books Reconciliation: MT940 whose :62F: closing balance is out by 100.00” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Data import, Error handling. Realistic faker-generated datasets with documented schemas for testing import and ETL flows.

Documented properties for this file: CRLF. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Data fixtures document their exact quirks (delimiters, encodings, null handling, schema, and row counts) in the spec table. Point your parser or importer at the file and assert it handles the documented edge cases; clean and deliberately-messy siblings make before/after diffs straightforward.
