Question SQLPLUS Password Parameter file being used when logging in

Good day to everyone. This is my first time posting and just barely above basic Unix training. I think i have search thoroughly to ensure my question hasn't already been posted. But on the off chance the answer has been posted, please be nice as I am not 100% sure I know what I am looking for.

I am a sysadmin in training of a very large application sitting on a Unix environment. We grant very limited access to the vendor who has developed code to this unix box. However, i do have screen share session going with the vendor often which is why i am posting.

Many times I need to run a sqlplus SQL file in nohup or etc. To avoid the vendor from seeing the master DB password I created a parameter file within a directory of my home directory and changed the permissions to 600 and removed the directory from the snapshots. The thought being I could call the parameter file instead of having to input into the first command. However, all my attempts seem to fail.
Code:
echo 'cat $HOME/bin/PASS' | nohup sqlplus user@testdb @first.sql > status.out 2>&1 &
#or 
nohup sqlplus user@testdb/'cat $HOME/bin/PASS' @first.sql > status.out 2>&1 &

I hear you can do some of this through KSH script writing but only through a few YouTube videos and half way through a book and have not seen anything. Any guidance anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

NAME
sylseg-sk-training - train the statistic for the syllabic segmentation SYNOPSIS
sylseg-sk-training [--color] [--dl debug level] [--help] [<input file>] DESCRIPTION
The sylabic segmentation is esential for some linguistic or speech recognition applications. Depending on the language either rule based or statistical approach is beying used. For Slovak the statistical approach seems to be more suitable. sylseg-sk-training creates the necessary data for one of the statistical approaches for the syllabic segmentaion. The input data are expected to be word segmented into syllables. The syllabic separator should be "-". If no input file is specified, the standard input is expected. The output is written in to the file. The filename is input filename with the extension ".statistics". If standard input is used, then the output filename is syl_output.statistics. The design of the sylseg-sk-training is language independent. Theoretically it should work for any language. OPTIONS
--color Enable color output. --dl Set the debug level. Control the amount of displayed information The debug level 0 displays nothing. The maximum level 5 displays full debugging report. The default debug level is 1. --help display a short help text EXAMPLES
Use file aaa.txt as training input and set up debug level to 3: sylseg-sk-training --dl 3 aaa.txt EXIT STATUS
sylseg-sk-training returns a zero if the training succeeds AUTHOR
