scheduled jobs are failing

I had about 30 schedule jobs that either import data or run sql queries.
They have worked wonderfully for months. All of a sudden they are failing.
I get the error message 203 ENVVAR_NOT_FOUND which translates to The system
could not find the environment option that was entered.
I don't understand what this means, nor how to fix it. I've spent almost 2
days searching for a solution. Even more complexing is why it all
changed...I haven't done anything different that I can think of.
Can someone please assist and point me in the right direction?
thanks in advance!!!Is it a specific type of step that is failing, or is your package not
starting at all? Have you enabled a package error log, to see if the log
file holds any further information?

When I review the jobs I see that the last run status is "Failed".
When I review the job history I get
"The job failed. The Job was invoked by User sa. The last step to run was
step 1 (Census1 Load Text). Executed as user: CLFDATA\SYSTEM. The process
could not be created for step 1 of job 0xC4F7C84FC07C4A439571C7C4BE326910
(reason: The system could not find the environment option that was entered)
.
The step failed."
I noticed that the package error logs were not enabled. I'm correcting that
oversight now.
