Answer 1

What is your OS.
First example, divide three part scritps and then
cat beforepart.sql account.sql afterpart.sql | sqlplus user/password@connectstring
type beforepart.sql+account.sql+afterpart.sql | sqlplus user/password@connectstring
Second example, divide two part scripts.
acc2.sql
declare HandleN varchar(20);
begin
select pbhandlenamelower INTO HandleN from pb_handle where pbhandleid in(select max(pbhandleid)
from pb_handle where ha_customerentityid in (select acct_customerentityid from account
where acct_accountid = &1 )) AND pbmainhandleflag=1 ;
do.pl('==============================') ;
do.pl('Handle Name: ' || HandleN ) ;
do.pl('==============================') ;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
do.pl('No rows selected');
END;
exit
main.sql
set serveroutput on
varaiable variable1 NUMBER
DECLARE
data varchar2(20);
BEGIN
data:='&1';
select BI_ACCOUNTID into :variable1 from pb_bill_info where PBBTN=data;
do.pl('BI_ACCOUNTID');
do.pl('------------');
do.pl(:variable1);
end;
@acc2 :variabl1
Third Example
create or replace directory SCRIPTS_DIR as 'path name'
acc3.sql (Only 1 statement, don't include into-clause and ';')
select pbhandlenamelower from pb_handle where pbhandleid in(select max(pbhandleid)
from pb_handle where ha_customerentityid in (select acct_customerentityid from account
where acct_accountid = :variable1 )) AND pbmainhandleflag=1
main.sql
set serveroutput on
DECLARE
data varchar2(20);
variable1 NUMBER;
HandleN varchar(20);
p_sql varchar2(32000) := '';
File_Handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
Read_line varchar2(4000);
BEGIN
data:='&1';
select BI_ACCOUNTID into variable1 from pb_bill_info where PBBTN=data;
do.pl('BI_ACCOUNTID');
do.pl('------------');
do.pl(variable1);
File_Handle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('SCRIPTS_DIR','acc3.sql','r');
loop
UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(File_Handle, Read_line);
exit when no_data_found;
p_sql := p_sql || Read_line || chr(32) ;
end loop;
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(File_Handle);
execute imediate p_sql into HandleN using varaiable1;
do.pl('==============================') ;
do.pl('Handle Name: ' || HandleN ) ;
do.pl('==============================') ;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
do.pl('No rows selected');
END;
Or Some many other Examples and those are maybe more simple, only if you would analyze your business requirements.
