setting local variables in unix?

Question

when a set value=temp is done,
why the echo $value doesnt work

mine is a c shell, and i did this :
"test.csh"
#! /usr/bin/csh
setenv FWDBUSER temp
but
it says FWDBUSER: Undefined variable

Answer 1

set is windows command yaar...in unix you have to give like this

value=temp
export value

echo $value...

Answer 2

If you're using the bash shell:

export value=temp

If you're using the C shell:

setenv value temp

To find out which shell you're using, simply enter echo $SHELL.
