The following example is part of Forms45 on-line documentation:


TOOL_ENV.GETVAR Syntax:
PROCEDURE TOOL_ENV.GETVAR
   (varname VARCHAR2,
    varvalue VARCHAR2);

Parameters:
  varname Is the name of the environment variable.   varvalue Is the value of the environment variable.

Description:
  This procedure provides a way to import an environment   variable into a VARCHAR2 variable.

Example:
  Suppose you have a procedure that needs the current user's userid.   You could include the following PL/SQL statement using TOOL_ENV.GETVAR: TOOL_ENV.GETVAR('USER', :userid);


I use the "TOOL_ENV.GETVAR" built-in to capture various environment variable,
but the capture of the system username is allowed only on UNIX systems (I work
under AIX and HP-UX) and not under Win95-NT
