Pass username and password as command line arguments rather than hardcoding them.

for eg :

 #script demo.sh
 sqlplus $1/$2@ORACLE_SID program_name1
 sqlplus $1/$2@ORACLE_SID program_name2
 .
 .

and now when you want to call this script from shell prompt

 $ demo.sh your_username your_password

Hope it will help you.
To know more about command line arguments refer any UNIX manual.

regards,
tarun
