Error code 702: FilingIndicators.csv error

Official description

Code
702
Category
CSV
FilingIndicators.csv must not declare the wrong number of columns.

From the EBA's published catalogue, as recorded on 10 March 2026. The official text is in English.

What the code means

FilingIndicators.csv is not structured the way the EBA expects. According to the EBA's overview, code 702 checks the number of columns in that file (EBA (opens in a new tab)). The AFM lists code 702 together with 808, with the message "Extra templateID values found" (AFM Q&A (opens in a new tab)).

A correct file has two columns, templateID and reported, and one line per template:

templateID,reported
B_01.01,true
B_01.02,true
…
B_99.01,true

Typical cause

  • Extra template IDs: the file lists templates that don't belong to DORA, or lists a template twice.
  • Wrong spelling: the EBA expects template IDs in capitals, such as B_01.01 (EBA common issues (opens in a new tab)).
  • Wrong number of columns: a line has more or fewer than two values, for example from an extra comma or a missing value.

How to fix it

There is nothing to fix in the Excel workbook: the error is in the generated file. Make sure FilingIndicators.csv lists exactly the 15 DORA templates, in capitals, each once and each with true (AFM Q&A (opens in a new tab)). Then build the package again, with a new timestamp.

Does DORA Convert catch it before you file?

Yes. DORA Convert writes FilingIndicators.csv itself, with the 15 DORA templates in capitals and each set to true. Before you can download, we check the header, the number of columns per line, duplicate templates, the values and the template IDs. If a check fails, we don't offer the package.

  • 808: templates are missing or not set to true.
  • 701: FilingIndicators.csv is missing or empty.
  • Codes 703, 704 and 705 (duplicate templates, non-boolean value, missing value): package checks.
