  In below scenario the exception will not happen:
  -  directly save recorded messages into a stub without applying
  ISO8583 schema,
     then applying ISO8583 schema in the stub.
  - In the stub, delete data node from input message
    create a new data node(DataArrary) as child
    copy orignal data string into data node
    apply ISO8583 schema
