Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: How to check the charcater set of the export file
You take a hex dump of the export file and review the contents in the first
line. Char set used while exporting is in there. Review Note #48644.1 on
Metalink for details.

Hi List,
I keep on taking exports from one machine having oracle and import it on some other machine with oracle software. I usually face the problem like this :-- IMP-00016 required character set conversion (num to num) not supported.
The only alternative that time I find is to make a Net8assistan entry on the target oracle maschine to the source oracle machine's oracle and then do an export as well as import from the target oracle machine but this is not feasible everytime.
Somebody then told me that this can be sorted out by setting the NLS_LANG variable in my environment similar to that machine from where I took the export.
Can you tell me some utility through which I can get
to know the character set of teh export file
