SET Command removed the variables

Hi,

Im using csh and sometimes bash.
I accidentally typed SET and looks like it has resetted some enviroment variables as im not able to run autosys jobs etc ..

So i wanted to know how i can put it back to normal by replacing any profile files from another user or by editing the file which holds the data

WHich file hold these information?

Im using Solaris ..
