Hi All,

                I just got a dump file from Oracle 8i on an AIX system and

was trying to import it in Oracle 8i on a Suse Linux System, but got the error 'IMP-00016: required character set conversion (type 46 to 871) not supported'. Can you help me out ? I know it has to do with the NLS_LANG environment variable, but if I change the character set to the one used by the AIX system i get an error while logging in to 'imp'. Can anyone help me out as to what value should NLS_lang contain ?

Thank You,

Gavin
