This is what is called "macro expansion". In the line above it, you are building a command that includes variables and so on. Then the line in question says to expand it all out and execute it. It's a cool, but odd way of handling some things and can save a lot of frustration in some cases. Now, it seems to be having an issue with the fact that it can't find ARDF2019, so check to see if you're missing something in the start or setup programs, and so on. I don't know your application at all, but it seems to be based on the generic structure that's been out there for a while in tutorials, and more.
