2.3.2 Telling SAS where to find the ODF and CCF files

The SAS_ODF environment variable must be defined as the directory where are placed the ODFs of the observation to be analyzed. This can be done as follows: 

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

The SAS_CCFPATH environment variable must be defined as the directory where all SAS calibration files are stored, 

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

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

We recommend to store all CCFs in a shared accessible directory so any other SAS user may refer to them as well.
