Re: Error initializing SQL*Plus

[Quoted] I suspect you're not finding the message file for one of the following reasons.

If you're invoking sqlplus on the server

1. $ORACLE_HOME is not set. On unix msb files are found in product specific subdirectories below $ORACLE_HOME
2. The files and/or expected location are not there. on Unix this would be $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/mesg

If your client server the location of the files would be c:/orant/pluss33 (assumes 32bit on NT). I'm sorry I don't know the approprate OS variable the program uses to find this location (could be $ORACLE_HOME as well).
