Hi Doug

The '-'sign in the debit column is a strange idea - never seen that 
before.  It would be OK in a single amount column, but the debits are 
already expected to be negative.

I removed them all and the import looks OK, including one or more spaces 
in nearly every line.  No sign of truncation.

I could check for them, I suppose.  Who produced the data file?  Where 
is your KMM version from?
