Raghu,
Have a look at the error message - it is "value too large for column".
UTF8 is a mult-byte characterset while the older WE8..P1 is a single
byte characterset. In the LEGAL_LAST_NAME column, you have one or more
rows which has at least one or more special characters which expands
from the WE8 single byte entry to occupy a UTF8 double (or multi-byte)
entry. You will have to expand the LEGAL_LAST_NAME column to accomodate
this expansion.
And while you are it, you might as well expand those other columns which
may possibly hold special characters. This is especially true for Name
columns...

Subject: import fails due to different character set
Hi Guys,
Could any body suggest workaround to import data from database charset
WE8ISO8859P1 to database charset UTF8, Here it is my error!
import server uses UTF8 character set (possible charset conversion)
export client uses WE8ISO8859P1 character set (possible charset
conversion)
. importing RAMSTG's objects into RAMSTG
. . . importing table "CLASS_REC"
IMP-00019: row rejected due to ORACLE error 12899
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 12899 encountered
ORA-12899: value too large for column
"RAMSTG"."CLASS_REC"."LEGAL_LAST_NAME" (actual: 22, maximum: 20)
Column : 1051003
Thanks
Raghu.
