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) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ed H Sent: Monday, August 30, 2010 7:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [amibroker] Re: Open Interest Field 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. --- In [email protected] <mailto:amibroker%40yahoogroups.com> , "TA" <tagro...@...> wrote: > > I am trying to import an ascii file with following data to the Open Interest > field: > > > > A,8/27/2010,346000000 > > AA,8/27/2010,1020000000 > > > > The following is my format file instructions.
