A.3.5 Creating GEVs
The gevEdit command is used to create a new GEV. Execute gevEdit, and provide a label
name which is currently not used, as in this example of a GEV labeled
example3 with a value of August 7, 2003:
> gevEdit example3
(Blank line terminates input.)
August 7, 2003
Update Global Environment Area of NVRAM (Y/N)? Y
GEV labels can be up to 255 bytes long. The label itself is stored in NVRAM, along with the GEV
value. Therefore, as GEV space is limited, users are encouraged to select labels of appropriate
length.
GEV values are stored as ASCII strings, which may be up to 511 bytes long.
GEV labels and values are both case-sensitive.
If there is insufficient space remaining for storage of the new GEV, a message similar to the
following is displayed:
Not all variables were copied, 1 remaining
The newly-added variable is not added, even if the “Update Global Environment Area of
NVRAM (Y/N)? “question is answered affirmatively.
