The "new" tool Oracle SQLcl is not interpreting "&&" correctly. Is there an option to correct this behavior?

SQL> def var=99
SQL> prompt &var &&var
99 &99

The expected answer would be: (using sqlplus)

SQL> def var=99
SQL> prompt &var &&var
99 99

It's a bug.

You should log bugs to My Oracle Support, but I'll handle this one for you.

SQLcl debuted in 2014. Not sure if that's "new" or new.

Workaround: go download version 21.4 - I've confirmed it's working as expected there.
