2.3.2 Telling SAS where to find the ODF and CCF files

The SAS_ODF environment variable must point to the directory where the ODF of the observation to be analyzed is located:

	export SAS_ODF=/path/to/<ODF> [sh, bash, ksh]
 
	setenv SAS_ODF /path/to/<ODF> [csh, tcsh]

The SAS_CCFPATH environment variable must point to the directory where the SAS CCFs are stored:

	export SAS_CCFPATH=/path/to/<CCF> [sh, bash, ksh]

	setenv SAS_CCFPATH /path/to/<CCF> [csh, tcsh]

It is recommended to store all CCFs in a shared accessible directory so that other SAS users may refer to them.
