Oracle
ORA-31619: invalid dump file "string"

Cause: Either the file was not generated by Export or it was corrupted.

Action: If the file was indeed generated by Export, report this as an Import bug and submit the export file to Oracle Customer Support.


You
invalid dump file "C:\dm dmp\pbk.dmp"
What happens if you put the pbk.dmp file into a directory which doesn't contain space in its name?

I am surprised no one saw this yet.

You cannot use datapump on a regular export file taken from an 8i database. There was no datapump in 8i.

Mention your export dump file path correctly
Import file: EXPDAT.DMP >

Incorrect. If the file could not be found you would be given an appropriate message.
This is either not an export file or it was ftp'd in ascii mode.

Another possibility is that the dump file was made with a higher version of Export utility.

If we can trust OP's first sentence, this is not the case here.
