  Following is the error which i am getting  


     >  *** Growing Buffer to 18763
     >  *** Error: Import data size does not agree with byte length.
     >             The cause may be:
     >                 1) IMPORT DATA vs. IMPORT REPORT
     >                 2) incorrect incoming data

If you mean that there should be only one record in the file, check the file size. On Windows, it should be 6 byte; on Unix - 5 byte.

If the size is greater than that then you probably managed to add an "empty" record, which might have caused this problem. Sometimes, non- printable characters can get into the file. To see them you could use a hex editor, for example. The editor will help get rid of the unwanted characters.


Regards,

Victor
