Thanks,
I don't understand why it was saying that as i had never originally asked it to recover the file.
It still says the same now when i try to place online or give the recover command (remember the database is open, not in mount stage)
I think i have seen how to do recover datafile in open database using RMAN but as mentioned earlier, RMAN currently unavailable for this database.

The database has been restarted since i raised this but was an auto restart over the weekend when i wasn't at work.
