Strange SP2-0042: unknown command in sqlplus

Hello everyone,i was attemptting to execute a sql statement from an external file. But i got "SP2-0042: unknown command "ï»? - rest of line ignored.". It's works with ANSI but can not based on UTF8 encoding.My file only contains as following :
spo db_changesfff.log
SPO OFF
Anyone has ideas?thanks in advance!!

We had this problem as well and we noticed that the script file that contained the UTF-8 had two FF FE magic numbers at the beginning of the file. View your file in HEX mode of your text editor and verify that a single FF FE is at the beginning of the file. We created our UTF-8 file using Notepad. This seems to put two FF FE's in the file header. When we removed one set of FF FE, everything worked just fine.

SP2-0042: unknown command "UNION" - rest of line ignored.

I used sql script for creating DB structure on Oracle 8 with no errors.
I got "SP2-0042: unknown command "UNION" - rest of line ignored" error on Oracle 9i.
Do you anybody tell me whats wrong ?

Sorry, I had technical problems to access this formu to response.
My script (part):
CREATE VIEW ARVALUE
AS
SELECT IDVALUE FROM DBVALUE;
CREATE VIEW AWVALUE
AS
SELECT DBVALUE.IDVALUE FROM DBVALUE, AWOBJECT
WHERE DBVALUE.IDOBJECT = AWOBJECT.IDOBJECT;
CREATE VIEW BSOBJECTUSAGE

if I understand, better

On a 64bit install of oracle, i'm trying to run a script within sqlplus such as @c:/create.sql
however when i run that, somehow it seems the @ sign as a ■ and screws up my script execution. Has anyone seen this before?

This is my script that runs everywhere but 64bit:
prompt *** DROP TABLES ***
drop table STOCK;
drop table LEDGER;
prompt *** CREATE TABLES ***
prompt LEDGER
create table LEDGER
     ActionDate DATE,
     Action VARCHAR2(8),
     Item VARCHAR2(30),
     Quantity NUMBER,
     QuantityType VARCHAR2(10),
     Rate NUMBER,
     Amount NUMBER(9,2),
     Person VARCHAR2(25)
prompt STOCK
create table STOCK
     Company VARCHAR2(20),
     Symbol VARCHAR2(6),
     Industry VARCHAR2(15),
     CloseYesterday NUMBER(6,2),
     CloseToday NUMBER(6,2),
     Volume NUMBER
and when i run it i get an error when it's trying to create the table. It seems as if it doesn't understand what i'm trying to tell it.

Sql select with concate of columns SP2-0734: unknown command beginning

I am running a ksh script that does some dumpster diving and pull records out.
It is basically reading a file does a select and at the end, you will see $i.
AND ORD_ORDER.ADV_ORDER_TEXT_FIELD_568='$';
I can run the script manually. (without the while loop)
But, when I run it thru the script I get a whack of errors.

What I need it to do is pull the selected records out and place in a file.

"SP2-0734: unknown command..." error while importing a dump file

hello,
i want to import a dump file into my database named orcl, and i come accross the same error after executing the import command. my import command is:
SQL> imp mvdemo/mvdemo file=mvdemo.dmp full=y ignore=y
i use oracle 10g enterprise edition.
i created the user mvdemo/mvdemo.
the error i see in my screen is:
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "imp mvde..." - rest of line ignored.
for a long period of time, i havent used oracle dbms. before, i remember that i used enterprise manager in import/export processes. however, i am not able to find the enterprise manager in 10g options now. do i have to install the enterprise manager seperately in oracle 10g enterprise edition? may this problem be relational with this matter?
if someone could answer, i would be greatful.
best regards

Import is run from the command prompt, not the SQL prompt.

SP2-0042: unknow command "imp"

I try to import file *.dmp using command
imp system/manager file=unknow.dmp
and there Oracle give me an error:
SP2-0042: unknow command "imp" - rest of line ignored
File was export in the same number of version Oracle!!
What is wrong?? :(

And I have the second question...
Can we import file which was create or another OS version??
For example:
export is on Linux, and import is on Windows?? The Oracle version is the same.
Thanks for help.

How to exe OS command from sqlplus

I used to exe OS command with ! in sqlplus in older version of Oracle. I just installed 10g Express and I tried !dir, and got the following error:
SQL> !dir
SP2-0042: unknown command "!dir" - rest of line ignored.
Did I do something wrong?

host seems to work in special cases
On Microsoft Windows XP
where dirme.bat contains
dir
host d:\path\to\dirme.bat
results in output of dir
whereas host dir
results in an exception java.lang.ProcessImpl.create(Native Method)
at oracle.dbtools.raptor.scriptrunner.commands.Host.handleEvent(Host.java:30)
Works in Linux (for host ls)
Could be a path/built in dos command problem.
What is other peoples experience?

Error SP2-0042. PLEASE HELP!!!

I am trying to run a .sql file from SQL*Plus. I typed "start c:\test.sql" at the command prompt and am getting "SP2-0042: unknown command "~S" - rest of line ignored". Can anyone tell me why am I getting this and how to fix it.
Thanks in advance for your time and input.
L.S.

Thanks, Inaam.
I discovered this morning that the file was using 'unicode text document'. once I changed it to 'text document' it ran successfully.

IMPDP / EXPDP unknown command

Hi,
I don't use oracle databases for a long time and I am not a DBA. Now I am using it again with the following environment: there is a server with a huge database Oracle 10g EE and I am developing an application that uses a part of this. I have Oracle 10g XE on my development machine and I want to use expdp/impdp to copy the tables I am interested in into my machine.
My problem is that I get a SP2-0042 error telling me that the command is unknown (in both server and dev machine). From what I understood the datapump should be available in both versions. Does anyone can help me?
Thank you,
Rui

Expdp/impdp are separate utilities and not subcommands in sqlplus. I recommend you read the documentation.

Copy command of SQLPLUS is failing

Oracle Version 8i.
When trying to use the copy command -in SQLPLUS- to copy the data from one database to the other, I am encountering the following error.
Error: SP2-0027: Input is too long (> 2499 characters) - line ignored
Reason for using the copy command is: Allows me to set commit points as against Insert into ... select * from command.
The table, I am copying has lot of columns and the number of characters in the script are more than 3000.
Where is the restriction of 2499 characters set? Is there a way to alter this?
Thanks

You can export the table(s) and import into your database.

It looks like you are using Sqlplus from Oracle 8 to shutdown an Oracle 9 database.
I think you should logout and check your environment to make sure you are using the correct sqlplus to connect to the correct database.

Unknown command

hello all..
while trying opening a file created in MAC, in my p.c i got a
unknown command error.
the strange thing is that in the preview i can see the file

i send this fle to my friend and he opend it in his p.c with
no problem
what can i do ????????
please help me...

OK,
There are two places to check. Actually two type of places to check.
1) Go to the iChat > Preferences > Alerts section.
Check every potential setting in the top drop down with whether it has a AppleScript setting checked in the box below.
2) Click once on every Buddy (in turn) then hit the Apple key and I together to get the Info card up.
Go to the Alerts tab.
Repeat 1) (This is because you can set the Alerts Individually as well as Globally in 1) )
Once you have found and removed any setting to Use one of the AppleScripts you can then use the iChat > Preferences > Alerts section to open the Scripts Folder and open the Scripts with AppleScript Editor (Just Double Click them) and check them for changes (there is an Auto Accept that is phrased to cope with all types of chats and Screen Sharing invites there is also an Auto decline)
If this fails to work you will have to delete com.apple.ichat.plist
This will mean making your Settings again in all the Preferences as you Lose Alerts settings, Font choice, Font Colour, Bubble colour, whether the Menu Bar icon is showing, Whether Transcripts are Saved and so on. You also lose any Personal or Individually set Alerts.
Outside of the Preferences you will also lose any Saved Status Messages you have Created.
You will not lose your Buddy List or your Buddy pic or those of your Buddies.
(You may lose Animation if set it.)
My guess would be that the choice for Message Sent has an Applescript check against it and that the AppleScript it is connected to is nothing to do with Sending.
