Export throws EXP-41 error.

Hi DBAs,

I think it is a bug. But, just in case if anyone has a workaround for this problem.

Export throws the following error when I use a DIRECT=3DY parameter. Has anyone faced this?=20

Environment :

OS - HP -UX B.11.11
RDBMS - 8.1.7.4.0 /usr/sbin/mknod ARUL.pipe p
nohup cat ARUL.pipe | gzip -9 > exp_svce_att_value.dmp.gz 2>&1 & nohup exp sidb_d01/xyz file=3DARUL.pipe tables=3Dsvce_att_value = compress=3Dn
rows=3Dy direct=3Dy > exp_svce_att_value.log 2>&1 &

cat exp_svce_att_value.log

EXP-00041: Export done in server's UTF8, different from user's character set US7ASCII
EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully

Thanks,
Arul.
