Can't we manually type commands within run block ?

Question

11.2.0.3/linux
I was doing an RMAN restore to a new server.
Below is the code I wanted to execute to restore
run
SET NEWNAME FOR DATABASE TO '/fnup/hwrc/oradata/spikey';
restore database  ;
}Since it is just 2 lines within a run block , so I thought of typing it manually. After typing the first line (SET NEW NAME..) ending with semi colon, i pressed ENTER key to get the next line and type the RESTORE command . But I was getting the following error.
RMAN> run
2> {
3> set new name for database to '/fnup/hwrc/oradata/spikey';   ###### After typing the semicolon I pressed ENTER here
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
