unitCol)If a unit column is not explicitly defined by user in the arg list to
estM or estg, then defineUnitCol parses the CO, DWP,
and SS files to extract the unit column if possible.
Criteria that a column must meet to be a unit column are that it is found
in both data_CO and data_DWP, all units in data_CO must
also be included among units in data_DWP, all units in both
data_CO and data_DWP must be included among the column names
in data_SS. If data_DWP = NULL, then the unit column must be
included in data_CO and all its units must be included among the
column names of data_SS.
