If you reference the _FRAME_ automatic variable in a SUBMIT block within
your SAS Component Language (SCL) program such as in the following
example,

   submit continue;
      data d&_frame_;
         x=1;
      run;
   endsubmit;

_FRAME_ may resolve incorrectly to it's numeric value with a leading
blank.  For example, if _FRAME_=1234, then the above DATA statement will
resolve as follows:

   data d 1234;

To circumvent this problem, simply equate _FRAME_ to an SCL variable and
reference that SCL variable in your SUBMIT block.  For example,

   frid=_frame_;
   submit continue;
      data d&frid;
         x=1;
      run;
   endsubmit;
