Apparently SQL*Forms is unable to find a terminal definition which
matches the name of your term enviorment variable. You can overide
the env variable by using a command line switch. Try using
sqlforms30 term=ansi
Substitute your term type for ansi. Oracle provides a bunch of termdefs
with different default characteristics. By renaming one of them,
you system administrator set up the default terminal type for your
site.
