Oh, so does this mean that GC cannot import combined OFX files, as far
as we know (that's what I thought was the case)?

Ah, I was talking of QIF, not QFX, sorry about that.
yes the java code writes QIF.

Ove,
Thanks for the info that you shared. Is your Java program writing to the
QIF format or the OFX format?
David - my apologies, I never noticed your reply to my original email last
month! I'm happy to read that it should work.
I'm still running GNC 3.8 from a mid-march build on my WIndows system. I
have yet to get GNC, AqBanking 6.x and Citi's OFX API to all play well with
each other. I am able to get my data from Citi by using an older AqB
release that I have running under Cygwin to pull the data from the Citi's
web server. I have found that in order to import the files that are
download into GNC that I need to make one file for each account at Citi (by
running aqbanking-cli for one account at a time). I then strip out the 1st
dozen or so lines in the response received. I have managed to script most
of this so it's not nearly as cumbersome as it may appear, but needing to
enter the password once for each account at Citi is annoying as is needing
to import multiple files into GNC instead of one consolidated file. I tried
to eliminate the repeating password step with the Expect tool, but I could
not get it to work in the Cygwin environment.
Unfortunately, the other financial institutions where I have multiple
accounts don't even support OFX (or at least if they do, the info is not
available on OFXhome.net) so I don't know if the issues I have run into
are caused by Citi, GNC, or AqB. These issues are not so annoying that I
would go back to Quicken! LOL I may mess around with trying to automate
my calls to aqbanking-cli using PowerShell so that I can take Cygwin out of
the mix and/or just try moving over to my Ubuntu system for GNC.

Ove,
I believe !Clear:AutoSwitch is only used in QIF imports. My OFX imports
have tags similar to
<BANKID> <ACCTID> and <ACCTTYPE>.

it works for me as well, but I know I need to put a specific line in the

open up your file and check if the firs line is:

Try to add the line if it is missing.
I use the below java code to write my import files.

// Transaction
String type = "Bank";
String date = dateFormat.format(transactionDate[l]);
String amount = String.valueOf(transactionAmount[l]);
String description = transactionDescription[l];
String category = transactionDescription[l];

info.write("T" + amount + "\n");

info.write("L" + category + "\n");
info.write("^" + "\n");
}
}
// Close File
info.close();

Stu,
I have been importing OFX files from my bank for years with three or
four
checking or savings accounts in one file, so I know GnuCash release
2.6.19
can import OFX files with multiple accounts. It is possible but
unlikely
that GnuCash has lost that ability in recent releases. You may have
something else happening in your case.

Hello,
I am using GNC on Windows 10. I have a fairly recent build, dated
March 9
from the maintenance branch.
I noticed that I'm still unable to use AqBanking to get OFX data from
Citi
into GNC. I Did a little exploring and discovered that if I
manipulate the
file in C:\tmp\ofx.log and break it into separate parts for each
account
that was downloaded that GNC will import the data just fine if it's
limited
to one account per file. I also believe, but I need to confirm that
I can
leave all of the data in a single file but that I need to eliminate a
lot
lines starting with the closing tags for the first account's response
body
and up to and including the opening tags for the subsequent accounts'
response bodies.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so, do you have any
ideas how
to fix this? Is it a defect?
Thanks in advance for your help.
