The Y2K test procedures get the values of the adverbs from a TGET.
Therefore, when you want to change the values, you should enter
     tget y2k
     y2kdisk = 'y2k'
     tput y2k
Then the script will get the new value when you RUN Y2KEXEC.

AIPS remembers your adverb values when you exit and picks them back up
when you start up again.  Also the TPUT/TGET file is not changed when
you exit and restart.
