The first error, ORA-12560, appears related to your syntax, missing a space after the slash.

You set the ORACLE_HOME from within the shelled environment (meaning you pushed into DOS command line while SQLPLUS remains open. On previous versions that used to fail for me, as it wasn't changing the environment variable globally. I would try setting the variable prior to executing sqlplus.

BTW your PATH includes two ORACLE_HOMEs, dbhome_1 and dbhome_2. Remove the inappropriate one, and look into using the .oraenv function to set the values based upon your SID choice from the oratab file. Easily explained elsewhere on this site.

Try to cd $ORACLE_HOME\bin, then to execute sqlplus /log from it without using the search path.

Do a web search on the error code shown, as in "oracle sp2-0750". Some of the articles suggest you have corrupted your .OraInventory file.
