This is not a character set problem. You export from abc1 and are trying to import as ebc1. You need to import as such: C:\>imp ebc1/ebc1@ebc1 FILE=C:\abc1.dmp LOG=C:\log3.log STATISTICS=NONE fromuser=abc1 touser=ebc1 Tom -------------------------------------------------------- This transmission may contain confidential, proprietary, or privileged information which is intended solely for use by the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
