Frank,
This could possibly be for the display of volumes on the 
charts etc, but for the data storage, I have not found such truncation problems. 
And I have created quite a few indicators based on volumes. :)

Here is a sample of the data stored by me, using 
Downloader.

Volume
  
  Dusant,
   
  This is a copy of the reply I recieved from Metastock:

  If you are getting the data through the Downloader, the volume data is 
  truncated by a factor of 100, or two zeros. This is called local data. If you 
  are using the online data or data on demand in MetaStock, that volume data is 
  not truncated like the Downloader. Just remember that if the Downloader got 
  the data, to mentally add two zeros to the volume figure and if doing formulas 
  on the volume local data and you are looking for a true volume of 1,000,000, 
  then your formula must look for 10,000
