Hi consider a situation in which I take hot backup of database at 10:00 am.After taking the hot backup 50 archived logs are created.Out of 50 i have backed up first 25 of them and at 5:00pm i lose complete database including control,data and the last 25 archived log files that were not backed up.So I am using latest hot backup to recover..
I restore the control file backup and datafile backup taken during ho tbackup(10 am) and i issue the command
.......startup mount
>>>>>>>Recover database until cancel
!!!!!!! Apply the available 25 archive logs
then i give "cancel" since I dont have the next redo log .
Now in which mode will the database open(Reset logs or no reset logs)
Why????/

resetlogs is required in case of incomplete media recovery

In addition.Why? Because what's inside the current log is irrelevant regarding what you recover as you stop the recovery before them.

Do you categorize this as incomplete recovery even if I use the control which was taken during hot backup(10 am) for recovery and didnt specify "using backup control file" during recovery????????

No, I only add to knight's answer; my answer includes his.

Incomplete recovery means you don't completly recover the database, that is you don't apply all archived and current logs which is the meaning of "cancel".
