There is no limit, at least not at such a low number. I import about
4000 symbols every evening using "import definition file".

If  the format of your data file is like this:

<ticker>,<date-mdy>,<open>,<high>,<low>,<close>,<vol>,<open interest>
$COMPX, 3/30/05, 1980.07, 2005.67, 1980.07, 2005.67, 0, 0
$INDU, 3/30/05, 10405.7, 10544.1, 10405.48, 10540.93, 0, 0
$SPX, 3/30/05, 1165.35, 1181.55, 1165.35, 1181.4, 0, 0

then you can create your own format definition file with the
following code:

# Format definition for a file: HD-TmdyOHLCVoi
$FORMAT Ticker, Date_MDY, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume, OpenInt
$SEPARATOR ,
$SKIPLINES 1
$AUTOADD 1
$CONT 1
$OVERWRITE 1
$DEBUG 1

It's all explained in the Help file here:
