Import error on Oracle Database Express 10.2.0.1.0

Question

Hi,
I try to import data from oracle V10.01.02 running on SUSE10 Linux to
oracle 10g (10.1.0.2.0) running on Windows Server 2003.
I am able to import the big part from my ata, but not all data.
The begin of my log file is:
Connected to: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.2.0
- Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
Export file created by EXPORT:V10.01.00 via conventional path
And after some time I receive:
IMP-00019: row rejected due to ORACLE error 12899
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 12899 encountered
ORA-12899: value too large for column "SAFCI"."EMP"."NAME"

I can not understand this problem, because I exported the hole user and
also try to import the hole user in my new system.
Pls., can some one point me to some paper about this problem or help me
to solve the problem.
Thanks

Hi
Your import database use a multibyte characterset, your export db a singlebyte cs.
This means, a char can need more than 1 byte.
Try this before import (and before create tables!!):
alter system set nls_length_semantics=char;Greetings
