When running multiple queries with the same host variable in the SQL Editor as a script, the values must be re-entered. The purpose of running the queries as a script is lost.
Here is a basic example of two queries with the same host variable of '&tbl_nm'. When executing both queries as a script, F5, the host variable has to be re-entered for the second query. In TOAD 8.0 you only needed to enter the value only once.
select owner, table_name
from all_tables
where table_name = upper('&tbl_nm');
select owner, table_name, column_name
from all_tab_columns
where table_name = upper('&tbl_nm');
