[amibroker] Data type of Volume field

I'm trying to import Yahoo! data for the symbol ^NYA - the NYSE
composite index.  

The *.csv Volume field has NYSE total volume that currently is running
around 2 billion shares/day.  When I examine the *.csv file in Excel,
the volume is different from day-to-day as expected. BUT when it is
imported into AmiBroker, most of the volume numbers are all the same 
 - around 2.147. . .  billion.

My suspicion is that this is a 32 bit signed INTEGER data type.  2^32
/ 2.  Is this correct?

My goal is to use the volume to construct an A/D line for the NYSE. 
A/D involves adding/subtracting  -  but if I'm up against an internal
limit of AB maybe that is not possible.

Any suggestions??
