The version is 8.1.7, and the original (and current) date format is nls_date_format = "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS" The init file is exactly as it was pre-edit!

What is the parameter, what was it set to originally pre-change and what did
you change it to ?

Also, what version of Oracle are you on ?

Hi All!

I have encounterd an interesting problem after attempting to make a change in my parameter file. I made a minor change in the date format, and upon shutting down (normal) and starting up, an error in the format was reported. I changed the format back to it's original form so that there was no diff between the original pfile and the current one, and attempted to restart, and I receive the following error:

SQL> startup
ORA-24323: value not allowed
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

There is nothing interesting in the alert log, and I see the same error with a startup nomount.

Any ideas as to what is going on?

Thanks in advance!!
