i have resolved this problem earlier by setting the parameter cursor_sharing= exact scope=both;
even then it throws the exception now.
there are no long datatypes on my table which i'm importing.
plz help me.
thanx in advance

Hi Darthvader,
I have sent the structure any ways i do send it again.
The first Thing is that this is the table created by selecting some of the columns which are returned by a function in the production DB into a staging table. this prob started when i tried to import the table. i ahev been using this tool since 1.5 years and i never faced this problem after setting the parameter cursour_sharing=exact.
i'm facing this problem while i tried importing other tables which are already imported.
This has really put me under pressure.
following is the structure of the table
CREATE TABLE xyz
BRANCH VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
CHNL VARCHAR2(13 BYTE),
YTD NUMBER,
YTDAMT NUMBER,
YTDREC NUMBER,
YTDAMTREC NUMBER,
PRODUCT_ID NUMBER,
ROLLING_PERIOD VARCHAR2(15 BYTE)
