Thought I would answer myself, and pose a further query with another problem
created from solving (I think) the first.
I have imported the shares on issue for the stocks into the open interest
data straight into the AB database, even though it references the MS
database. I created a set of tickers just for the OI field to use as a
foreign function in the AA etc.
This seems to have worked ok and I can view the OI data and call it up
directly with an explore.
AddColumn(OI,"shares issued",1);
However I am having a problem getting it through the Foreign function.
The function works fine with the normal OHLCV, but not OI. I get a return of
the open price all the time,. As though it does not recognise the second
character I in OI within the foreign function.. In this case the shares on
issue are about 180m.
AddColumn( Foreign("OSIBPT","OI") ,"SOI",1);
Can someone help please
Cheers,
Graham

Subject: [amibroker] importing shares on issue
I want to include the shares on issue for companies using the OI which I do
not use for anything. I have the MS plugin for my data and am trying to
import to this database as I figure the AB one will not work using the
plugin.
I have the MS converter but cannot seem to get the text file setup correctly
to convert the data into the MS database
Can someone please advise me what I should be doing
I have the text file as (following the converter help file)
<ticker>,<date>,<o/i>
AAC,4/01/2003,185012000
AAI,4/01/2003,847581876
AAR,4/01/2003,188239700
AAT,4/01/2003,533795123
But the converter keeps giving errors and asks me for a name ... of
something as the rest of the message is hidden outside the small window. I
originally just had the ticker and o/I, then added the date as felt this was
needed as well. But stll get error message.
Cheers,
Graham
