Hi All,

One of our developer ftp'ed the export (dmp) file from UNIX to NT in ASCII mode. He didn't know that it supposed to be done in BINARY mode. Now, he ftp'ed the dmp file back to UNIX in ASCII mode and tried doing the import. Looks like dmp file has been corrupted and Import is giving the following error.

IMP-00020: long column too large for column buffer size (22) IMP-00028: partial import of previous table rolled back: 16380 rows rolled back/

Is there any way to fix the dmp file. Any ideas? I searched the metalink and looks like there is no way to correct it.

It is on HP-UX and oracle 8.1.7.4

I appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Best Regards,
Prasad
