Yaroslav, if he's using a recent version of UNIX (anything after 1995), then he doesn't need to export. Once exported once, the variable will automatically be set to any new value. Particularly if the shell he's using is modern (ksh, Posix-sh, etc).

Try it. It's a common mistake going back to the good old days of non SystemV Unix and the old bourne shell.
