ODS Event Map Generation

This script activates the 'event_map' tagset of the ODS (Output Delivery System) to capture the hierarchical structure of events generated during the execution of a PROC PRINT. The result is saved in a 'test.xml' file. This technique is useful for debugging or creating custom tagsets. The script then attempts to open this file via the DM (Display Manager) command, which is primarily functional in classic interactive environments (PC SAS^© or Enterprise Guide), but its behavior may vary under SAS^© Viya^™/Studio.
