set envar
Description
The set command sets or modifies the value of an environment variable. It can
also be used to create a new environment variable if the name used is unique.
Environment variables pass configuration information between the console and
the operating system. Their settings determine how the system powers up, boots
the operating system, and operates.
Syntax

A reset or init is also required when setting up environment variables for an
OpenVMS Galaxy configuration. See the DS20E-ES45 Remedial Kit available
