This workaround seems to indicate that I will need to re download
all the database completely , when the issue seems to affect only th
e yahoo indices with ^ in front (about 10-20 symbols).
Plus, if I now edit the aqd.format file, all my exploration scripts
need to ne modified if they explore by looking at the volume.
eg if in the exploration or scan, V > 1000 000, now this must be
adjusted depedning on the $VOLFACTORfactor used in the aqd.format
and aqf.format files.
That sounds like an awful solution so far. Instead of modifying
everything else, just use another software which can handle volume
for the the few indices which are affected by this limitation on
volume.
