Additions to aleph_start not taking effect

Description
Adding a "setenv new_ue_01 Y" line in aleph_start leads not to use of the new ue_01. Why is it?
Resolution
The "echo" command can be used to test the current value of a variable:
> echo $new_ue_01
The result in the affected environment is "undefined variable".
Lines added in aleph_start need to be before the "exit" line. Here it is:
setenv due_date_format 1
setenv user_list_aleph_local Y
exit
# Added by table conversion
setenv new_ue_01 Y
The Upgrade Express is placing the setenv's it is adding after the exit. This means that they are not in effect. Anything after the exit, will not actually be executed.
