Is there anyway to enter the password parameter into a RUNAS command before it's called or call it from the command itself instead of having to enter it manually afterward?

Microsoft has disable the ECHO into command on the RUNAS command. So '< testfile.txt' will not work. that is what 'an echo mode error' is....
