I haven't looked at option theory for years but I would be surprized if all of the option values (implied vol etc) couldn't be calculated within AB .... provided you have the option prices ... I can't go and do the research at the moment but someone must have done it in the past. You can get US options prices via eSignal, for an extra charge .. don't know about the other providers.
