not present in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN;
export ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data

You can add these environment settings to the end of the ~oracle/.bash_profile file if you
use bash. This will ensure that the environment variables are set permanently when you log in as
"oracle", or when you switch to the user "oracle" by executing "su - oracle".
