i try to import data from a dmp file using following command:

imp scott/tiger tables=emp ignore=y

IMP-00037: Character set marker unknow
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully

What is this message stating, and how do I get the import to work correctly?

Many thanks in advance.

can u furnish more details?
OS, oracle version, etc?
else
in most cases the problem is the DMP file is corrupted.
did u ftp the file or somthing like that?
if the dmp is in the same machine, there might be someother things to be taken care of
