And which PL/SQL block Oracle tries to execute? Have you raised SR?

I had already checked the SQL trace and found that it was a PL/SQL block that Oracle was trying to execute. I have also tried with recycle-bin turned off and cleaned but the outcome was the same. In one of my test databases, which is also 11.1.0.7, I added a small datafile to an existing tablespace and then immediately tried to drop it and got the same error. So, this is most likely a bug. This is an Oracle ERP system and the tablespaces are user-managed and not truly locally managed.
Thanks

What Mark said about sql_trace is a really good idea. Also, I wonder whether you need to purge your recyclebin or this has anything to do with as of date processing.
How much remains undeleted in the entire tablespace? Is copying what you want to keep to a new tablespace feasible as a workaround? Depending on the sizes, that may take less time than an sr.
Good luck.

If you enable sql_trace, it may reveal the recursive sql that is catching that error. but you'll probably need to open an sr. -Mark

I have seen similar error messages once in a great while where character data was found and numeric data was expected. If I recall correctly you have to specify the full path of the datafile when attempting to drop it when not using the file number. Did you only supply the file name ('DATAFILE_NAME') in the command or did you give it the full path ( '/path/to/DATAFILE_NAME', '+DATA/<db>/DATAFILE/DATAFILE_NAME' , etc...) ?
Thanks,
Ryan

is not the first datafile of the tablespace either. I am getting the following error when I execute the drop command:
