OFX Import Bug

[Brendan Coupe]

By convert I meant that KMM converted the end date that it receives from
the OFX download into the enddate the appears in my ledger and also appears
in the text file in the thb folder.

I created the file that Thomas mentioned and was surprised there is no
field called <DTSTOP>. There is a field called <DTSTART>. I check a
different OFX file from the KMM download that works correctly and it is
missing the <DTSTOP> field.

The manually downloaded OFX files do have the <DTSTOP> field.

How does KMM come up with the enddate in the thb text file when there is no
<DTSTOP> field in the OFX file? This is probably where the bug can be
found???
