Thanks.Assuming you mean SQLPlus, sure...I do it all the time in scripts.
-- example.sql
PROMPT Learn how to use the ACCEPT statement...
set feedback off verify off
ACCEPT v_firstname CHAR PROMPT 'Enter your first name: ' DEFAULT 'Richard'
ACCEPT v_lastname CHAR PROMPT 'Enter your last name: ' DEFAULT 'Head'
SELECT 'Hello, my name is ' || &v_firstname || ' ' || &v_lastname || ', and I want to be your friend!' AS text_string
FROM dual;
-- end example.sql
Executing the script would produce something like this:
SQL> @example
Enter your first name: Byron
Enter your last name: Flathead
TEXT_STRING
Hello, my name is Byron Flathead, and I want to be your friend!
Note that in the script I used a DEFAULT clause to ensure that there would be SOMETHING assigned to the variables if the user just hits Enter without typing in a name first. (And yes, I choose to be whimsical.)
