Gil, I don't think that "environmental attributes" referred to by bpx4env are the same thing as environment variables.
I could be wrong, but I don't think that environment variables exist except for in Language Environment (or the C library of a given non-LE C-compiler). For example, if you look at the z/OS Unix Assembler Services guide, you will see that the kernel services that *use* environment vars (e.g. STEPLIB) have arguments where you give it a pointer to your envar table.
