>ORA-01110: data file 1: 'C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\TCS\SYSTEM01.DBF'
something BAD happened to your system/DB.
I hope you have a good backup.
I see this is a Windows system. What version of Oracle to 4 decimal places; like V11.2.0.1?
Tell us exactly how you ended up in this hole you now find yourself.

When was last time DB was operational?
What happened after that?
Was DB running with archive mode enabled?
post content of alert_SID.log file prior to today's activity

File is not up to date and needs recovery.

 *Cause:  An attempt was made to online or open a database with a file that
           is in need of media recovery.
 *Action: First apply media recovery to the file.

I suggest that you take a cold backup of this system before attempting any type of recovery or restoration.
It can't hurt & might prove valuable in the future; then again it could be just a waste of time.
It is your choice to do or not.

your system data file needs media recovery.

now it needs recovery...bcz of incosistent of SCN ,i.e is mismatching of scn.

go to startup mount..
do:
recover database;

after getting o/p and then fire

auto

by this u can over this problem.other wise apply redologs manually to overcome.after it open your database with resetlogs;
