Same error message appears.

The root cause of this error message is a data overflow that happens at mapping the values of Bank Account Holder Name field. Here the following text is separated by a question mark ("?") with two identifier digits, followed by the content, until the next separator (another question mark or a new line that starts with a colon).

If the file you provided contains a collection of more than 80 characters between the "?33" and the next "?", the error will occur since this field is limited to 80 characters.

The logic will be enhanced in the future, in the meantime you can manually delete part of the string so that it has 80 characters or less. This will avoid the overflow and the upload will be successful.
