MIN_ won't help.  Lets say all your combined OS and C++ needs 56000 GBLPAGES and AUTOGEN would only compute 50000.  MIN_ of 6000 doesn't help.   However, you could hardcode it to something like

GBLPAGES=100000

and take AUTOGEN out of the equation. 

In theory, all LPs should be recording their ADDITIONAL GBLPAGES/GBLSECTS requirements in the MODPARAMS.DAT file.  A few products do that, but most do not.  There is no documented interface in VMSINSTAL to do that.
