Have you tried:
create tablespace myTablespace datafile '&cPath.mytablespace.dbf' size = 5m;

The dot ends a SQL*Plus substitution variable name in places where it = isn't clear where the name of the variable ends and the next word = begins. The dot is part of the name and will be gone after = substitution.

Subject: help dynamically adding a 'datafile' to a script

I am trying to do the following and I cant get it to take(I would prefer = not to use dynamic sql and write my create tablespace scripts to a = second file).

Prompt Please enter a datafile path
Accept cPath

create tablespace myTablespace datafile '&cPath ||mytablespace.dbf' size = 5m;

I've tried lots of methods including bind variables and appending before = the create tablespace statement. Any way to do this?=20
