Sure,

Here it is:

set serveroutput on;
spool d:\temp.sql;
accept var_a char prompt 'Enter new location:'
declare
   temp varchar2(520);
   i number;
   startpos number;
   cursor cur1 is select name from v_$datafile;
   local_var varchar2(100) := &var_a;
begin
   DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE(10000);
   open cur1;
   loop
      fetch cur1 into temp;
      i:= instr(temp,'\');
      startpos:= 0;
      while i<>0 loop
         startpos:= i+1;
         i:= instr(temp,'\',startpos);
      end loop;
      dbms_output.put_line('alter database rename file ' || temp ||
local_var ||substr(temp,startpos) ||';');
      exit when cur1%notfound;
   end loop;
   close cur1;
end;
/
spool off;

Can you post the part of your script in which you are doing
