How can I access options on /ES futures volume using acsil? I was able to successfully get their price using a similar method and have been trying to use the following to get their volume:

auto GetOptPrice = [&](const SCString& sym)->double
{
s_SCBasicSymbolData q;
// GetBasicSymbolData returns void, third parameter true means subscribe/request data
sc.GetBasicSymbolData(sym.GetChars(), q, 1);

return (double)q.DailyVolume;
};

Use this function:
ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.GetSymbolDataValue()

Specify the option symbol. And the enumeration for volume:
SYMBOL_DATA_DAILY_VOLUME
