If you submit SAS code that references a remote libref within a SUBMIT
CONTINUE block in a SAS/AF FRAME entry, the SAS Component Language (SCL)
code following the ENDSUBMIT statement may execute before the SAS code
in the SUBMIT block finishes. For example, if the SAS code creates a
data set, this data set may not be available when the SCL code attempts
to open it.

To circumvent the problem, you can execute the CALL WAIT routine in SCL
code following the ENDSUBMIT statement to give the SAS code time to
complete.

Another circumvention is to execute a DO loop in your SCL code that
attempts to reference the created data set repeatedly until either the
maximum executions is reached or the data set exists. For example,

   dsid=0;
   i = 0;
   do until(dsid ne 0 or i = 10000);
      dsid=open('work.dset');
      i + 1;
   end;
