Thank you Tomasz.  Evidently the restriction 
only applies if you expect to plot the data directly as price bars.

  Hello,
   
  It checks only when using Database Purify tool or when you 
  are importing data from ASCII files and $STRICT/$ALLOWNEG 
  modes are off.

    Does AB check the consistency of OHLC 
    relationships on an ongoing basis, or only when using the Database Purify 
    tool?  I ask because in Herman van den Bergen's very 
    helpful "Introduction to the AmiBroker AddTocomposite()" tutorial, he 
    advises (p.10: Which Field to use in your ATC?) "The OHLC fields have 
    certain mathematical relationships that restrict their use and prohibit you 
    from putting random numbers in all fields", and advises the use of the "X" 
    field designator.  On this list I have seen (and borrowed) examples 
    which violate this, such as NH, NL assigned to "O", "C", and Adv, Dec 
    assigned to "H", "L".  AmiBroker accepts them and runs without 
    complaint.

      <SPAN

      flag you can use in an import format definition file that disables this 
      checking. From the Ascii Import docs:
      <SPAN 
      class=776302322-25122003> 
      <SPAN 
      class=776302322-25122003>===============
      <FONT 
      face=Arial>$ALLOWNEG Allow negative numbers in 
      prices.
       
      <FONT 
      face=Arial>0 - do not allow negative values (default), 1 - allow negative 
      values in prices. This additionally switches off any checking for OHLC 
      relationship so you can import any data into OHLC 
      fields.
       
      <FONT 
      face=Arial>when $ALLOWNEG is NOT specified in the ASCII importer 
      definition AmiBroker performs the following range checking and fixup on 
      open, low and high pricesif( open == 0 ) open = close;if( high 
      < max( open, close ) ) high = max( open, close );if( low == 0 ) low 
      = min( open, close )

      I would like to make 2 artificial data series that will 
        not be logical or ."checkable" to any OHLCV sequence. That is to say, 
        there will be zeros which are logical values in my scheme that may fall 
        in any location, and the relative value of one value to another is 
        strictly nonsensical. In other words, I would like to turn off the usual 
        data "checking" schemes while I utilize my "synthetic stocks' 
        value"I have spent a full day attempting to fool the present 
        checking schemes, without success.Is there a way that the 
        logical OHLC checking scheme can be turned off, and on, to allow this 
        type of data to be acceptable & loaded? My experience is that 
        "nonsense" data cannot be loaded by any trickery to be handled by the 
        wizard or the ASCII loader and be stored in the database. I would like 
        to negate that logic at the users discretion.All suggestions 
        would be appreciated. May your Christmas season be the wondrous, 
        beautiful, meaningful time it is intended to be. Best Regards,
