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.
