TJ --
Yes, I did read that; many times over.
It does not say that Open Interest is or is not "quotation data". And
nowhere else in the document are we users told precisely what is or is
not "quotation data".
Nor does it say that Close must always be present. Is Open quotation
data? If so, why is it not required?
My reading of "accept only quotation data", means to me that if
$NOQUOTES is 0, then non-quotation data will not be accepted. It does
not say that any particular data, Close in this case, must be present.
If you are still with me, could you please explain: If TA includes
$HYBRID, and his data base already includes Close, should the following
work for him?
$FORMAT TICKER, Date_USA, OPENINT
$SKIPLINES 0
$NOQUOTES 0
$AUTOADD 0
$OVERWRITE 1
$SEPARATOR ,
$DEBUG 1
$HYBRID 1
A,8/27/2010,346000000
AA,8/27/2010,1020000000
Thank you for your continuing efforts in my behalf,

Hello,
Poor searching.
As I wrote, search for $NOQUOTES and read what is written there
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/d_ascii.html
It is clearly written:
$NOQUOTES Switch quotation data mode
0 - (default) accept only quotation data (AmiBroker checks for
non-zero prices and valid dates)
1 - switch off quotation data checking - this allows importing
non-quotation data - for example only ticker and full names

I just did a word search in .pdf manual, 5.20. I could not find
where it said that either that Open Interest is considered as PART of
quotation. Or that at least CLOSE price is required.
My searches included:
$NOQUOTES
openinterest
"at least close price"
"part of quotation"
I also searched pages 284-299 for:
quotation
close
and reread areas containing those words, without benefit.

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.
