I wouldn't call us a "specialist" but well... it's a question of
definition...

I'd have to find the docs about this format. You can ask about any German
bank for an update of DTAUS specification wrt EURO. It'd be in german but
you'd get the idea.
Maybe some software thinks about " " is DEM, while !" " is EUR.

There are only fixed length fields. There are only 128-byte-blocks in the
system (iirc). All blocks are 128 byte large or multiples of this. The
system won't be able to handle non-fixed length fields.
