Types of Environment Variables The environment variables discussed in this chapter fall into the following categories: Informix environment variables. Set these standard environment variables when you want to work with Informix products. Each product manual specifies the environment variables that you must set to use that product. UNIX environment variables. Informix products rely on the correct setting of certain standard UNIX system environment variables. The PATH and TERM environment variables must always be set. You might also have to set the TERMCAP or TERMINFO environment variable to use some products effectively. GLS The GLS environment variables that allow you to work in a nondefault locale are described in Chapter 2 of the Guide to GLS Functionality. However, these variables are included in the list of environment variables and in the index table in Figure 3-2.
