Running The Pipeline

The location of the ODF files is specified by either setting the environment variable SAS_ODF (setenv SAS_ODF directory_path), or by specifying the input directory (omfchain inpdirectory=directory path), or by setting the environment variable SAS_ODF to a SAS summary file. For the latter, the omichain will extract the directory path from the SAS summary file.

1. Use command `omichain` to process the ODF data set in the current directory or to where SAS_ODF has been set to, and to place the product files in the current directory.
2. Use command `omichain inpdirectory=input-directory-path` to process the OM ODF data set in the specified directory, and to place the product files in the current directory.
3. Use command `omichain outdirectory=output-directory-path` to process the ODF data set in the current directory or to where SAS_ODF has been set to, and to place the output files in the specified directory.
4. Use command `omichain inpdirectory=input-directory-path outdirectory=output-directory-path` to specify both the location of the ODF data set and the directory where the product files are to be placed.
