normally, these are set for you from OAS. When running in plsql, you can use a block such as:

declare

    nm owa.vc_arr;
    vl owa.vc_arr;
begin

    nm(1) := 'VARIABLE_NAME';
    vl(1) := 'VARIABLE_VALUE';
    owa.init_cgi_env( 1, nm, vl );
end;
/

to stuff whatever name/value pairs you want to into that "environment".
