Offhand it sounds to me like you may have uncovered an error. I would search metalink and if you don't find an error matching this situation, I would file a TAR.

Hello list sorry to trouble you all so much, I tried all that I stated below on another database I created, and as long as I don't use an spfile , no problem. As soon as I start using an spfile , I always get my backup shown as obsolete , irrespective of the number of days (the value of n) I specify in ''report obsolete recovery window of n days; '' . Also a few more details , previously i was getting the problem on a 9.2.0.1.0 enterprise edition database in noarchivelog mode. The problem I stated above is on a 9.2.0.1.0 enterprise edition database in archivelog mode with automatic archiving enabled. All this on win32.
