Oracle has altered national characterset names, and reduced the number
of national charactersets in 9i. I would recommend looking in the
globalization manual for both versions, whether your characterset is
valid in both versions.
v$nls_valid_values will show you which values are possible.
Apart from that ora-3113 can point to almost anything and requires a
search on Metalink.
Note that 8.1.7 is desupported for quite some time, and 9i will follow
soon.
