odfexpand: ODF-FILE name expander

• SYNOPSIS
  
      odfexpand odfrequest=<odffilespec>
  
• DESCRIPTION
  odfexpand accepts one string argument on the command line which must be either the name of a valid ODF file [1] or an abbreviated specification following the syntax rules detailed in the descriptions of the oal function OAL_selectFile. This string is then attempted to be expand into a full ODF file name including the preceding directory name. For this to work, the environment variable
  
      SAS_ODF
  
  must point to a directory containing an ODF summary file or the directory name must be given via the generic -o or -odfdir task command line parameters.

  The result is printed on standard output - return value is 0 upon successful exit, $>0$ otherwise.
