Several environment variables are used by FML and VIEWS.

The following variable is used in FML to search for system-supplied files:
- TUXDIR—this variable should be set to the topmost node of the installed BEA Tuxedo system software including FML.
The following variables are used throughout FML to access field table files:
- FIELDTBLS—this variable should contain a comma-separated list of field table files for the application. Files given as full path names are used as is; files listed as relative path names are searched for through the list of directories specified by the FLDTBLDIR variable. FIELDTBLS32 is used for FML32. If FIELDTBLS is not set, then the single file name fld.tbl is used. (FLDTBLDIR still applies; see below.)
- FLDTBLDIR—this variable specifies a colon-separated list of directories to be used to find field table files with relative filenames. Its usage is similar to the PATH environment variable. If FLDTBLDIR is not set or is null, then its value is taken to be the current directory. FLDTBLDIR32 is used for FML32.
  For details, see Defining and Using Fields.
VIEWS functions use the same environment variables used by FML (namely, FLDTBLDIR and FIELDTBLS) plus two other environment variables:
- VIEWFILES—this variable should contain a comma-separated list of object viewfiles for the application. Files given as full path names are used as is; files listed as relative path names are searched for through the list of directories specified by the VIEWDIR variable (see the following list item). VIEWFILES32 is used for VIEW32.
- VIEWDIR—this variable specifies a colon-separated list of directories to be used to find view object files with relative filenames. It is set and used in the same way that the PATH environment variable is set and used. If VIEWDIR is not set or is null, then its value is assumed to be the current directory. VIEWDIR32 is used for VIEW32.
