Passing Oracle function as file input to sqlplus

Apologies if this is the incorrect forum.There is an issue in the function call I am facing while calling the same from a unix shell scripts.
Basically, I want the ref cursor to return values to a variable in sqlpus. The function call is currently saved in a ".txt" file
in a unix location. I want to read the function name from the file and then execute it.But when I am running the below I get error.
Can someone please advise how to achieve the desired results?

--- create tables
Code:
create table fn_test
(a number, 
b number, 
c number
);

insert into fn_test values(1,2,3)
insert into fn_test values(3,4,5);
commit;

-- create function

create or replace function test_fn
return sys_refcursor
as
p_ref_out sys_refcursor;
begin
open p_ref_out
for select *
from fn_test;
return p_ref_out;
end;

---- changes in Unix::
Code:
# create the input file
echo "insert into test_a values(5555,4646,353454);" > t_fn.txt
echo "commit;" >> t_fn.txt
echo test_f >> t_fn.txt

--- Create the main script

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
sqlplus -s user/pass@server << ! < t_fn.txt
set head off
set echo off
set define off
set feedback off
set serveroutput on
var l_refcursor refcursor
exec :l_refcursor := @t_fn.txt
print l_refcursor
!


I get Error:
Code:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "INSERT" when expecting one of the following:
