Hi Raja,
Try setting ' ulimit -f unlimited' in the profile file for oracle user id
before starting the installer.
You may have to enable the large file support, if not already done. A
casual search for 'How to set ulimit on Unixware?' on http://www.google.com
found this link http://www.sco.com/developer/core9/migpth9.htm. Let us know
if that helps you out. Else, I suggest a call to SCO Support.
HTH..
