I am NOT a db admin but I do 'maintain' my application that runs with oracle 8i.
I am now getting the error on certain workstations:
ORA-03232: unable to allocate an extent of 16 blocks from tablespace 3
I have access to DBA Studio and all the tables in the STORAGE tab show no more than 65% usage
How do I fix this - I have read across forums like this that it is a fragmentation issue - is this true?

Could be. With an 8k block size, you are looking at 131072 bytes. You need to have a contiguous chunk of that size.
[edit]
I also wanted to point out that "certain workstations" is irrelevant, or at least without defining what you mean by it. A workstation to me is a client that connects to a database server and has nothing to do with storage in the database.

Certain clients show this ORA-03232 error when refreshing the db whereas other clients do not show this error and refresh fine with the app presenting the 'patient list'.
How do I make a contiguous block in a table.
sorry for the newbie-speak but I am not a db admin

So I used [ SELECT ts#, name FROM sys.ts$ WHERE ts# = 3; ] and found it tablespace 3 was TEMP. I used DBA Studio to AUTOEXTEND the size of the datafile (only 1.9% was in use). I went to the client w/s and this did not fix the ORA-03232 error. However I went to app and changed the query parameters from [ Feb 2011 through to Dec 2012 ] to [ Feb 2012 through to Dec 2012 ] and now no tablespace error.
Might someone have an explanation?
All the best
jim
