Hi all!
Oracle 8.1.7 on WinNT.
When I try to copy one table from one schema to another I get this error message.

        ORA-01458: invalid length inside variable character string

Description is "very informative"

        01458, 00000, "invalid length inside variable character string"
        // *Cause:
        // *Action:

This is what I did:
        copy from xx/aa_at_orcl.world-
        to scott/tiger_at_orcl.world-
        create abc using select * from abc;

Do you have any suggestions?
TIA,
        Sonja
