Chris,
Humm, did not think that was clear, but!! We started using export to
extract data from our operational data store back in 92 with Oracle Version 5 to
tape. These files, copied now to CD's are still usable with Oracle 8i. That's
10 years and no problems. If I can depend on something with Oracle, they
maintain a backwards compatibility with the import tool that I haven't found the
end of yet.

Chris,
I've been exporting data in a similar way as you since V5. The 8i
version
of import still reads them without trouble.

Take a look at Thomas's Kytes utility "Data Unloadder" on his website.
Also look at Oriole's PDQ OUT. Both products will avoid the need to
recreate the wheel.
Also, toad can do this.

We have to role off partitions of data every week and I am writing a script
to
write the data to comma separated files using utl_file. What I was wondering
is
does anyone have an alternative that is better? I thought about using export
but
thought it wouldn't be fun trying to import an export file into the latest
version
of Oracle 10 years down the road.
Thanks, Dave
