I have a problem with a script that i wrote which prompt for input but in this case the input is already supplied within the script. If i copy the scripts individually and paste them in SQL*Plus, the insert statement inserts the pre-provided data properly. The problem comes when i try to run the script which contains the insert statements using the @c:\. The following are the insert statements within the script.
insert into MEMBER (member_id, Last_Name, First_Name, Address, City, Phone, Join_Date)
Values (&member_id, '&Last_Name', '&First_Name', '&Address', '&City', '&Phone', '&Join_Date');
member_id_seq.NEXTVAL

Just curious, if you are providing data in the script then why would you choose to use &?
Would it not be easier to have data with in the insert statement?
