Here's my hack attempt.. I won't explain it because I have to leave.. but
it should/ might be self explanatory..
- Shell script to execute sqlplus and the sql script
$ cat x
#!/bin/ksh
sqlplus -s / @x.sql <<-EOT
`pwd`
EOT
- The sql script
$ cat x.sql
set pause off
accept PWD
select '&PWD' PWD from dual;
- Sample output
$ ./x
old 1: select '&PWD' PWD from dual
new 1: select '/db01/app/oracle' PWD from dual
PWD
/db01/app/oracle
