Last but not least - for documentation purposes is not a good practice to feed everything on the command line; much better to do it thru a response file which can be saved for future reference.
Thanks Paul for this reply.

I conducted a detailed revision. It seems that I had another transcription error on charaterset, it has to be "AL32UTF8", not "ALF32UTF8". It went fine.

From next time I will induce this practice to use response file.

Thanks for you time and advise.
