Hello,
It is already. Check the description of $NOQUOTES in the manual.

IMHO, this type of information should be in the User's Manual.

Hello,
Open Interest is considered as PART of quotation, therefore can NOT be imported
with $NOQUOTES 1
Since it is a PART of quotation, it has to come *together* with at least CLOSE
price.
So your data file should contain
DateTime, Close, OpenInterest
fields at minimum.

Hi Ed
Thanks, for the reply. Initially, I was thinking the same that the number might be too big. However, I input it manually it takes it. If I set $NOQUOTES to
1 the $debug does produce any error but it also doesn't import the data. If I set $NOQUOTES to 0 then it produce the following error:
Error in line A,8/27/2010,346000000
Invalid (close) price. Prices must be positive. If you want to import no
quotation data please specify $NOQUOTES 1 ('no quotation data' box in Wizard)

My WAG (Wild Ass Guess) would be that the OI field is a fixed point 32 bit number (same as volume) which has a max value of 4 billion. The AA stock is
already at 1 billion.
Try cutting off 3 zeros from each OI entry and see if that helps.
Try adding $BREAKONERROR 1 to the commands in addition to $DEBUG and see if the
error log file has ! any hints.
