Hi,

I'm trying to clone a database. I use (e.g. from 
http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_tips_db_copy.htm):
alter database backup controlfile to trace as 'D:\ctrl_old.sql' resetlogs;

When I try to execute @D:\ctrl_old.sql I get an error:

SP2-0042: Unknown command 'DATAFILE'.

What did I miss?

Thanks, Helmut
