Does the RTEREUS=(ON) option help in this case? I know it greatly reduces overhead when invoking a COBOL program from a non-LE environment because the runtime doesn't need to be reestablished. I don't know for sure how it affects Working Storgae. Note that this only works for COBOL (not other LE-based C or PL/I programs).
