Are you, by any chance, running DBCA on AIX? If so, I seem to remember a bug in dbca on AIX which prevents a database script from being saved. I'm pretty sure there's something in Metalink about it and the problem is caused by those fancy 'environment variables' that are being used in dbca to determine file locations etc. Stuff like '{ORACLE_HOME}' and so on.

I think that if you change those to proper env vars like '$ORACLE_HOME' and so on, or full paths, then the problem goes away and you can save your scripts.

I suffered from this in a previous contract where the Unix was AIX.

Cheers,
Norman.
