Subject:      reading xls without proc import or changing file type

I am trying to figure out a way to read an ods generated xls file from
sas that has been manipulated back into sas without using a proc
import or changing the file to csv or another file type.  I am a can
not use any sas interactive features such as dde.  Additionally I am
not sold on the output from sas to xls so if you have have a better
method that is ok as well.
