I found [url]http://support.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=FOR&p_id=78400.998[/url]

However I had the same problems as the guy when trying to alter the database, it said the new characterset (WE8ISO8859P1) must be a superset of old character set (US7ASCII). Everything was correct in sys.props$.

Digging around for more, everything seems to be correct as far as some of the other notes i've seen. setting ORA_NLS, etc.

When I tried to export and then import without NLS_LANG set (although ORA_NLS was still set), I got IMP-00068 instead. Not as much material in metalink on that one.
