To expand on your description of define, I thought Erik may be looking for a way to pass the variables in. Maybe this will be of some use.

sqlplus id/pwd @test 'a b c' 'd e f'

Where test.sql is:
define field1 = '&1'
define field2 = '&2'

select '&field1', '&field2' from dual;

HTH,
John

I'm not sure this is what you wnat, but here is a short example of the use
of DEFINE / UNDEFINE and && (Accept once but use many times inside script
without re-prompt)

---

define testtyp = Repair
/
select * from buy_type where buy_typ = '&&testtyp';

select buy_typ||'---' from buy_type where buy_typ = '&&testtyp';

undefine testtyp
/
