Make sure it is not skipping the setting of the 'LATERM' env variable.
Behind the scenes, Lawson is simply sending 'lapm >. It's just a front-end for telnet.
Try logging in with the 'desktop client' not the 'desktop client login' and you will get a prompt. See if you can issue an 'lapm' command. Assuming you're running on Unix.

Lapm is working fine in the command prompt. I have written small menu in the .profile for 'desktop client'. If i use 'desktop client login' it should take the given input formid menu from the screen.

Can you please explain in what way 'desktop client login' passing input value to unix machine. (i.e Variable Name) to execute the command lapm 'productline' 'formid'

You should get an error message in the 'desktop client logon', with the option to 'Diagnose', which allows you to see what is going on, at least enough to let you troubleshoot.

My recollection is that the following commands are pushed behind the scenes via Telnet:
setenv LATERM univwin
export LATERM
lapm >
