PowerShell Asking to Enter Value
I have a test SQL script I'm trying to run in the PowerShell using SQLPlus. The path to the script looks like this:
@C:&DItest.sql
When I run this, I get the prompt
Enter value for di:
If I input &DI, everything works. I'd rather avoid any prompt. I've tried a bunch of different combinations of quotes, but haven't had any luck. Does anyone have any ideas?

You're seeing a SQL*Plus prompt, not a PowerShell prompt.
SQL*Plus uses an ampersand to identify substitution variables by default. When it sees @C:&DI it looks for a defined substitution variable called DI, and as it doesn't find one ir prompts you for it.
You can change the character it uses, or just disable that functionality, bu issuing:
set define off
before your @ run command.
SQL> @C:&DItest.sql
Enter value for di: xyz
SP2-0310: unable to open file "C:xyztest.sql"
SQL> set define off
SQL> @C:&DItest.sql
SP2-0310: unable to open file "C:&DItest.sql"
SQL>
