I just found a Korn shell script on-line to Delete RMAN backupsets older than a specified number of days. It has syntax in it that RMAN doesn't like, and I can't find a reference to what the script is trying to do anywhere.

OS: HPUX 11i
Production DB: Oracle 8.1.7.4
Recovery Catalog DB: Oracle 8.1.7.4

The syntax in the script is this:
(rman catalog rman/password_at_RCAT target sys/password_at_HOST <<- EOF

      list backupset of database
              from time 'SYSDATE-1000' until time 'SYSDATE-$DAYSTOKEEP';
      exit;
      EOF ) | grep RMAN-06233 | while read filler key filler filler date rest
do
      echo "# Delete backupset $key dated $date..." >>$CMDFILE
      echo "CHANGE BACKUPSET $key DELETE;"  >>$CMDFILE

done

The syntax I am confused about is the "list ..... from time ....until time" part. I cannot find reference to that syntax anywhere. Is there actually a way to make this work?

When I run the script, it gets to this point and gives me the following error messages:
RMAN-00558: error encountered while parsing input commands RMAN-01005: syntax error: found "from": expecting one of: "archivelog, completed, controlfile, database, datafile, device, like, recoverable, ;, skip, tablespace, tag"
RMAN-01007: at line 2 column 1 file: standard input

Thanks in Advance!
