Hi,

Thanks you for the replies, John Hurley and Joel Garry. Much appreciated.

John: Thanks for your idea. It worked. I recovered using sqlplus until now, though
I used SAP tools for the backups. So, I restored the datafiles and archive logs
from RMAN, logged into Sqlplus, issued a 'Recover until time..' command,
opened using resetlogs,and all was fine. So, for now, no RMAN recovery for me!

Joel Garry: Thanks for the info. I will look into the asktom link, and the timestamp
SCN connection.

Thanks,
QZ
