Re: What is the command line?

The imp utility is invoked from the command line of your operating system, in this case I suppose it is windows.

1. Open a session ms-dos or command line in NT
2. Make sure that the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory is in the path c:\oracle\Ora81\bin or c:\orant\bin or something similar
3. C:> imp user/password_at_tnsnames_identifier file=file.dmp ... or (if you have version 8 (I think)) C:> imp80 user/password_at_tnsnames_identifier file=file.dmp ...

Hope this helps.
