I'd do it as follows:

fun! MyStatusLine()
return "Opened_file: %{resolve(expand('%:p'))}"
\ . "%{getcwd() == resolve(expand('%:p:h'))"
\ . "? ''"
\ . ": ' Current_working_directory:'.getcwd()}"
endf

set statusline=%!MyStatusLine()

When a status line's definition becomes a tad complicated, I prefer to
use a function.

Hope this helps,
Life.
