ORA-00224: control file resize attempted with illegal record type (string)

What triggered the Error:

An attempt was made to expand or shrink the control file by calling cfileResizeSection using an invalid value for the RECORD_TYPE parameter.

Use a value for the RECORD_TYPE parameter that specifies a valid record type other than type 0 (valid range is 1-16).
