If you're using sql*plus (or a tool that is using it) then you can do something like this:

set serveroutput on
variable a number;
begin
:a := &promt;
dbms_output.put_line(:a);
end;
/

If it runs in batch then you can do:

variable a number;
begin
:a := &1;
dbms_output.put_line(:a);
end;

and get the value for :a as a parameter-
