Symptom

You process a file in ECS Direct Input where some amounts contain invalid values. The system, however, recognizes them as zero values because they contain only comma (,) or dot (.) which for themselves are valid for amount fields, but occur more than one time in the amount field and follow immediately one after another (like ‘…’ or similar). In that case, the system should recognize the amounts as invalid.
