} I think it is your mistake. We can simply test that: you can send 
} me History conversion set (*.hcs file) where is stored our
} conversion setting, exported to an file File processing template 
} which is used for conversion of your file and the part of your
} ASCII file. I will run conversion here and give you the answer.

With Andrew Nazarov's help I was able to go through.
What caused the problem? 

>From Andrew's email:

"It is because for Future data you should have the symbol in Portfolio 
BEFORE importing or have it in Symbol dictionary.
So you should make in Portfolio the same symbol 
(Symbol, exchange and category should be STRONGLY
 the same as you have set it in HC), and then import XPO file.
(That's the feature of GlobalServer:)"

This remark allowed me to set everything right
and finish my test with positive result.
