Sorry if this is a FAQ.

Is there any way to access UNIX environmental variables from within
an Oracle FORM ?

Our Oracle consultant says the only way is via a user exit but this seems
like a great deal of effort for something I would have expected to be
part of standard FORMS.

Anybody know any other ways ?
