I am attempting to get the example at the very bottom of the following link to work:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmflash.htm#BRADV89737
The example does not include the current state of the database. When I try to startup in nomount, I get a SET error saying the database is not mounted upon invocation of the SET statement, as follows:
RMAN> shutdown immediate;
database dismounted
Oracle instance shut down
RMAN> startup nomount;
connected to target database (not started)
Oracle instance started

RMAN> RUN
2> {
3> set until time ="to_date('11/19/2008 21:30:00','mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss
')";
4> RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP;
5> ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
6> RESTORE DATABASE;
7> RECOVER DATABASE;
8> }
executing command: SET until clause

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of set command at 11/23/2008 22:53:05
ORA-01507: database not mounted
However, when I change the startup nomount to startup mount, I get a error "Must use a TO clause' on the restore controlfile command, as follows:
RMAN> startup mount;
connected to target database (not started)
Oracle instance started
database mounted

RMAN-06496: must use the TO clause when the database is mounted or open
I dont want to use the TO clause, because I want to update the DB as it is a(as well as follow the example).
So I am confused on how to get this example to work. In what state do I put the database in what sequence to get the example to work ?
Thanks in advance. Any advice would be appreciated.

The link you gave does not contain the example you posted.
So I will comment what you posted.
You have to "SET DBID" in nomount stage before begin able to restore the control file.
