What Mark said about sql_trace is a really good idea. Also, I wonder whether
you need to purge your recyclebin or this has anything to do with as of date
processing.
How much remains undeleted in the entire tablespace? Is copying what you
want to keep to a new tablespace feasible as a workaround? Depending on the
sizes, that may take less time than an sr.
Good luck.

If you enable sql_trace, it may reveal the recursive sql that is catching
that error. but you'll probably need to open an sr.

Thanks Ryan. I have tried it with both absolute path and file_id but the
outcome was the same.

I have seen similar error messages once in a great while where character
data was found and numeric data was expected. If I recall correctly you
have to specify the full path of the datafile when attempting to drop it
when not using the file number. Did you only supply the file name
('DATAFILE_NAME') in the command or did you give it the full path (
'/path/to/DATAFILE_NAME', '+DATA/<db>/DATAFILE/DATAFILE_NAME' , etc...) ?
Thanks,
Ryan
