DJI is the correct symbol. The pre-1995 history was moved only.
Reuters unfortunately does not provide volume on most indices. What you
are doing with the Nasdaq is fine.

Subject: RE: Reuters historical index data
Thank-you for the response! I was using .DJI I believe for the DOW. Is
it
correct that there is no volume for the DOW? And a question on the
NASDAQ, I
am currently pulling in 2 indexes and combining them into 1 to get both
the
NASDAQ OHLC, and another for the volume. Is this the correct method, or
is
there 1 index that has all data? Thanks.
