set

Name
           set
Purpose
           Change common setup parameter
Category
           cafe
SYNTAX:
           set [, param[=value]][,/report]
Input Parameters
           param- The parameter to change. The parameter may be used
                  by other commands as a predefined setup.
         value   - The value to set. This may be a number, a
                   string (need not be enclosed in "") or a vector
                   in brackets ([a,b,c]).
                   Former settings of values will be overridden.
                   If the value is an empty string the entry will
                   be deleted.  (e.g. set, nogap="" deletes the
                   nogap entry).
                   If no value is given ("="  must be omitted) an existing
                   parameter is removed from the setup list. If
                   for missing values the parameter is not defined
                   it will be set at 1.This allows simple settings of
                   flags.
Example
                      > set, nogap
                       -> equals set,nogap=1 provided the setting
                       "nogap" was still not defined.
OPTIONS:
            /report - Report setting performed (usefull for log file).
Side Effects
           Changes setup string in environment.
Example
             > set, period=12100
             > pfold
              -> fold data set in current group with 12100.
