Accept input parameters

Dear All,

I got a table creation file in a standard format. I need to accept parameters from the user & then based on the input change the data in the file. For. eg. i will accept the database name, dbspace name & user name from the user and accordingly change the same in the table creation file. Any ideas???.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,

lloyd
