Ken, I think you are asking whether you can add
information to the Amibroker database that is not related to O,H,L,C,V, OI from
a source that is different from Amiquote, right?
If so, I'm afraid that ASCII import is probably
your best bet. The way I've done that is to create a dummy ticker like
QQQQa and then put information into the O array of QQQQa that relates to, say,
bids and information into the H array of QQQQa for, say, asks.
Then, in order to operate on this information, one
relatively straightforward way is to use the Foreign command, like Foreign
("QQQQa","O") when you need to retrieve bids. Or you could have amibroker
retrieve these fields on demand (in your code) using fopen commands from a .csv
format. or you could retrieve from .csv and put into static
variables. Or you could use the sql retrieval process made available by
Amibroker.
Personally, I've done all four of these with
success. Each has their place. But, before I go any further, perhaps
you could confirm that this is what you are trying to
accomplish....

Well, thanks, but I need to add many symbols read
automatically from a spreadsheet file into the database. The Quote Editor will
not do it automatically as far as I know.
Ken
Have a look at Symbol > Quote
Editor ?

Subject: [amibroker] Adding data to field
in existing symbol database.
Amiquote and Import from ASQII are
both aimed towards helping people import quotes from services like
Yahoo.
No
where that I can find does the Help file (or the Knowledgebase, or the Users
Knowledgebase, nor past archived messages) talk about how to ADD a value to an existing
field (say an empty volume or OI field) in an
existing
database.
Experimenting with the above mentioned tools does not
produce the result I need.
I
have nowhere else to turn as all of the above resources are
silent.
As
someone else said: "can someone toss me a bone" on this
subject.
