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.
