set lines 400;SELECT <column_name> FROM <table_name>;

This is because I ideally would not like to again have to create a script file (since that would mean an extra component.

Anywhere specific that I could be going wrong?
Irregardless of your final destination, you have a problem, and are troubleshooting.

Create a script file for test purposes .. and see how it behaves ...
You just might find how much easier it is to troubleshoot Smilie

Once you have things figured out, you can always splice it back into your "one-liner" solution if you need it Smilie

[edit]
fully working sample ... try to setup this working sample first .. then change "my.sql" to use your query instead of the select * from dual .. and see what changes.

Code:
unix > more *
::::::::::::::
my.sql
::::::::::::::
set linesize 400
set pause off

select *
  from dual;

::::::::::::::
sql.ksh
::::::::::::::
{
sqlplus -s /nolog << EOF
   connect myid/password@dbname
   @./my.sql
   exit
EOF
}   >./my_log.log    2>&1

unix > ksh sql.ksh
unix > ls -ltr
total 6
-rw-r-----   1 ditto    group1         57 Jan 13 09:48 my.sql
-rw-r-----   1 ditto    group1        121 Jan 13 09:51 sql.ksh
-rw-r-----   1 ditto    group1         83 Jan 13 09:51 my_log.log
