Oracle exp dump file import issue IMP-00009: abnormal end of export file

Question

While importing an oracle database via imp, it terminates with below error

IMP-00009: abnormal end of export file
Import terminated successfully with warnings.

The exp was run on the same machine (the data was not ftp between servers)

Is there a way to recover tables from this file?

yes, thats the only error message followed by termination message — Ara, Jul 18 '11 at 07:15
Maybe then a corrupt file try exp again with compress=y option, i am afraid nothing else in mind as of now for this — V4Vendetta, Jul 18 '11 at 07:18

Check your Dump file size. I was getting the same error because my .dmp file was of 0KB

This is possibly be caused by the combination OS and Oracle versions not allowing importing dumps bigger than 2gb
