Environment variable

Hi,
As per the requirement of Application Team,I am trying to change an env variable (CPIC_MAX_CONV) to 5000 which is now 500.I issued th command "setenv CPIC_MAX_CONV 5000.It is working fine and getting changed.But once I log off and relogin ,it is again changing to 500 itself.How to solve this issue???

Read better?

From your "setenv", I'd guess that you're
using a C shell, so you might wish to put
that "setenv" command into your "~/.cshrc"
file. Other shells may use different
start-up command files (and different syntax
to set an environment variable).

Where are you setting it to 500? Just change that place.

That may be in the file Steven mentioned or elsewhere.
