- I have just run into a problem that Oracle support has been unable to help
- me resolve:
-
- An export file was created using RDBMS 5.1.22, and subsequently copied
- to tape. Now when we try to import the file, we get a "Required
- character set conversion not supported" immediately after specifying the
- filename.
-
- I tried importing into a V. 6 database with the same result (IMP-00016 is
- the error message).
-
- The system is VAX/VMS 5.4-3. The structure of the dump file is fixed format,
- 4096 byte records which is as it should be.
-
- Needless to say, we would REALLY like to get this data back. Any suggestions
- would be greatly appreciated!
