Create a new SMS pool of volumes, make sure you give them the extended allocation attribute in the ACS for that pool, allocate the dataset using that dataclass and storage class and group. mount it to the /TEMP directory and make sure your job has the //SMPWKDIR pointing to that /TEMP directory.
It will work if you do this right. It will just continue to fail if you don't follow the directions. Even if you had a 3390-54 or larger volume, without the extended attribute the dataset can't grow big enough to do what you need.
