Cannot set variable value in emacs?

Viewed 1098

I want to change the value of shell-command-default-error-buffer variable in emacs.

First i view the variable to see its present value -

C-h v RET
shell-command-default-error-buffer

The output is -

shell-command-default-error-buffer is a variable defined in `simple.el'.
Its value is nil

Then I try to set the value -

M-x set-variable RET
shell-command-default-error-buffer

It shows me error - [No match]

Why is this?
