HELP/MESSAGE suggests:

  User Action:  Reduce the application's size or complexity, or increase 
the
                amount of available virtual memory by taking one or more 
of
                the following actions:

                o Adjust the AUTHORIZE quota PGFLQUO to increase the 
user's
                  paging file quota.

                o Change the SYSGEN parameter VIRTUALPAGECNT (on VAX 
systems
                  only) to increase the system's virtual page count limit.

                o Increase the size of the system paging files.

                o Increase the amount of system physical memory.

I would try PGFLQUOTA, if Richard is overreaching.
