When you say "got a dump file"  how exactly did you get it. 
This error is often caused by not using binary mode ftp to transfer a file or 
by some zip / unzip error.

hi guys,
 
today we had got a dump file from the client for importing two tables in the 
database containing somwhere more than 1 million records in each. When i 
invoked imp utility on the database , i am getting the error :
 
IMP-00037 : Character set marker unknown
 
os & db info:
 
Windows 2000 Adv. Server
Db : Oracle 9i rel 2 ( 9.2.0.6 target  9.2.0.4 source)
Character set : Export done in US7ASCII character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR 
character set -- source
                       server uses WE8ISO8859P1 character set   -- target
 
 
I tried on metalink and they say might be dump file corrupted but client says 
they can import from the same dump file without error. 
 
Any Idea??????????????
