All -

I am getting the following error when I try to do massive inserts & deletes.

*******************************
The following error has occurred:

ORA-01658: unable to create INITIAL extent for segment in tablespace SYSTEM
*******************************

After doing some research, I tried the following:

1) set maxextents unlimited
2) set autoextend on
3) coalesce

The problem still persists. The maxsize of the datafile is unlimited and has 36GB of disk space left...

Any suggestions?
