Actually the way I do it is much simpler (in my mind at least).
I simply host out with a host|NOSCREEN - so nobody knows, I then run a unix script which pipes the contents of the environement variable into a SQL*Plus script which loads it into a table. Once I am back in SQL*Forms I then read this table and bang have the contents of the variable.
If this is too brief e-mail me and I will give you code examples - if enough people reply I will post the solution.
